To bake sweet potatoes: Scrub sweet potatoes and pierce in several places with a fork. Line a baking sheet with foil; place the potatoes on top. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour at 400 degrees, depending on the size of the potatoes. Bake until soft and squishy. Remove from heat.

  • 3 baked sweet potatoes, baked and mashed
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 3 Tbsp. avocado oil

  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 2 cup gluten free oats
  • 1 cup pepitas
  • 1 cup slivered almond
  • 1 cup raw buckwheat
