Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups almond milk (or your preferred milk)

1 cup mixed berries (such as blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries)

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (like walnuts or almonds) for topping

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Carefully wash and scrub the sweet potatoes, then poke several holes in each with a fork to allow steam to escape. Place the sweet potatoes directly on a baking sheet and roast them for approximately 40-45 minutes or until they are soft and easily pierced with a fork. Once cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before handling.

    Cook the Oats: In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, ground cinnamon, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it reaches a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer softly for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the oats to absorb the milk and become creamy.

      Prep the Berries: While the oats are cooking, rinse your mixed berries under cold water to clean them. If you're including strawberries, slice them into smaller pieces to distribute their flavor better. To enhance their freshness, you may consider drizzling a little lemon juice on them.

        Mash the Sweet Potatoes: Once the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, carefully slice them open and scoop out the flesh into a medium bowl. Using a fork, mash the sweet potato until smooth, then fold in the vanilla extract and maple syrup until everything is well mixed and harmonious.

          Assemble the Bowl: Take two serving bowls and start by spooning a generous layer of the sweet potato mash into the bottom of each bowl. Follow this with a hearty layer of the creamy cooked oats on top of the sweet potato.

            Top it Off: Carefully arrange the mixed berries over the oatmeal, allowing their vibrant colors to shine. For an added nutrient boost and delightful crunch, sprinkle the optional chia seeds and chopped nuts over the berries.

              Garnish and Serve: To finish, consider garnishing each bowl with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch. Serve your Sweet Potato Sunrise Bowl immediately while it's warm, and relish in the delightful combination of flavors and textures!
