This recipe is a part of our Sweet Potato Breakfast Series! We’ve created 5 sweet potato-centric meals you can enjoy in the morning, or whenever you please. First up are our Sweet & Savory Sweet Potato Boats.
If you’ve been following us for even a short period of time, you know we both eat a bit differently. Jasmine prefers very sweet and simple meals, and I prefer things more on the savory and salty side. For this recipe, we thought it would be fun to bring both of our worlds together, and share a sweet version and a savory version so that there is a little something for everyone. 
For Jasmine, we chose ingredients she normally adds into her breakfast smoothie bowls and oatmeal. The combination of granola, sliced banana, nut butter and superfood toppings was a hit with her! 
And we also created a savory Mexican inspired version for myself. I am a burrito lover, so I decided to take familiar ingredients and flavors, and bring them into this stuffed potato. It has a mix of beans, green, pico de gallo, avocado, cream cheese in place of sour cream and everything bagel seasoning because we have been hooked on it!

Sweet & Savory Breakfast Sweet Potato Boats — 2 Ways!
Description
We created the perfect sweet & savory breakfast sweet potato boats that are easy to make and the perfect way to start your day!
Ingredients
Sweet Breakfast Sweet Potato Boat:
- 1 baked sweet potato
- Drizzle of almond butter (we use Jem Superberry Almond Butter)
- 1/2 banana, sliced
- 1/4 cup granola (check out our favorite oil-free granola here)
- Dried mulberries
- Goji berries
- Shredded coconut
- Sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon)
Sweet Breakfast Sweet Potato Boat:
- 1 baked sweet potato
- 1/4–1/3 cup black beans
- 1/4 cup fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon pico de gallo
- 1/4 avocado, sliced
- ~1 oz. Kite Hill cream cheese + 1 tablespoon water
- Everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- To bake sweet potatoes: Thoroughly wash and prick your sweet potatoes each 2-3 time with a fork or knife. Wrap them in parchment paper and then with foil, then place them directly on the oven rack in the middle of the oven. Turn the oven on to 425F and bake for 40 minutes or until sweet potatoes are soft. Cool before using. *
- To make the sweet breakfast sweet potato boats: add in all of the ingredients, adjusting the ratios as desired and dig in!
- To make the savory breakfast sweet potato boats: Whisk the cream cheese with water in a small bowl until smooth and set aside. Add in the spinach, black beans, pico de gallo and avocado, then drizzle with the cream cheese as desired, and top with everything bagel seasoning.
Notes
- If you don’t have an oven, you can boil or steam the sweet potatoes.
- Feel free to use any fillings/toppings as desired and available!

I used to eat the sweet-style boat ALL the time for breakfast, and I already miss it! My sweet potato was probably over two pounds though, hahaha! Kept me full for hours, and I could customize the toppings all the time!
Haha I love it! they are definitely so filling, perfect for long days!
Such a great breakfast idea! I can’t ever get enough of sweet potatoes so this is perfect for me 😉 Thanks for sharing! Pinning!
Thanks so much Vanessa! 🙂
I saw your video for these on FB the other day Jasmine! Love sweet potatoes and love the ideas…especially in pancakes!
Thank you so much Anjali, I hope you can try these!
A big ole stuffed potato is just pure comfort food 🙂
Yes I agree!
Well, they both look incredible, but I am a savory breakfast fan, so I would likely reach for the Mexican version first.
I’m on the savory train on this one (never much liked sweet potatoes sweet)! These look delicious and what a power house way to start the day!
That is exactly the same as Chris, and he loved these!
