These Sweet Potato Breakfast Bites are bringing breakfast to another level of good! These tasty bites are moist and tender and just sweet enough. You’ll love this recipe as much as I do!  This recipe is gluten-free, low-fat, and a delicious THM “E”.

Sweet Potatoes Breakfast Bites, Say What?

You may be wondering why I choose sweet potatoes as a flavoring in these Breakfast Bites, and to be honest, I think my husband and son had doubts too, but let me just say they are so delicious. So here’s why I did it.

Lately, I’ve been trying to use things up out of my pantry with limited trips to the stores.  So one morning this week before starting work I was looking for some ideas or make-ahead breakfast items.

After some thought, I decided on my Soft Banana Bites, but there was only one issue, no bananas in the house! Not even in the freezer, so I was bummed. 

However, I didn’t let that stop me so I set out on a mission to adapt that recipe using the ingredients that I did have!

After checking the second pantry for any pumpkin, there I stood staring into the refrigerator that’s when I saw the leftover sweet potatoes from a couple of nights before.

Now, if you are not from the South you might not have had the pleasure of having Sweet Potato Pie or Sweet Potato Bread, but they are so good ya’ll! 

Just imagine a taste super similar (but not exactly) to a pumpkin. I prefer sweet potato pie over pumpkin, so I knew instantly that I had found my solution!

Using the sweet potato in this recipe keeps it super moist and helps to give the bites a nice fluffy texture.

How to Make Sweet Potato Breakfast Bites.

To make these delicious bites I used one of the only grains we keep in our home, oats. Oat flour is still a higher-carb flour so we limit it to just once in a while.

But if you are not watching carbs closely, or for those looking for a yummy THM “E” item, then oat flour is perfect.

Oat flour can be found in a lot of stores these days on the baking aisle. But if you are unable to find it in your local shop then you can simply purchase a container of oats and grind them yourself which is what I do. 

I just add the old-fashioned oats into my coffee grinder and process it until it is smooth. It is really simple and doesn’t take long at all. I also find it is more frugal than buying the already ground flour, but do what is easier for you. 

This flour is also a great choice for those with gluten allergies, just read the package carefully and make sure the brand of oat flour you purchase says gluten-free.

I’ve found that some oats are processed in factories that also process wheat.  

 Here’s Your Shopping List:

• 1 cup of cooked sweet potato, mashed
• lite sour cream
• Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet (or Pyure)
• egg whites
• oat flour
• Trim Healthy Mama Pristine Whey Protein
• baking powder
• baking soda
• cinnamon
• vanilla
• salt

These breakfast bites can be mixed up in about 10 minutes. If you have to grind your oats before mixing them up it will add about 5 more minutes to the mixing process.

 To begin you’ll just mix the ingredients until all combined. If the batter looks a little too wet to scoop let it sit for a few minutes so the batter will thicken. 

Next, just scoop them out onto your cookie sheet using a small 1-inch cookie scoop and bake each batch for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. 

You can eat them right out of the oven or at room temperature, either way, they are super tasty!

Yum, who’s ready to get in the kitchen and bake with me? Enjoy friends!

Ingredients

• 1 cup of cooked and mashed sweet potato
• 1/3 cup lite sour cream
• 1/3 cup + 2 Tablespoons of THM Super Sweet (or 1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons of Pyure)
• 1/3 cup of egg whites
• 2 cups of Oat Flour
• 1/4 cup of Plain Protein Powder
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Add the sweet potato, sour cream, sweeteners, and egg whites to a mixing bowl and cream them together until smooth.
2. With the mixer on low add in the oat flour and whey protein and combine until all mixed in. I like to add the dry ingredients 1/2 cup at a time until all have been added.
3. As the batter mixes, add in the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt.
4. When the batter is finished, drop it onto a greased cookie sheet using a small cookie scoop. Leave about one to two inches between the scoops. The soft cookie bites will not spread a lot resulting in a nice rounded bite with a soft cake-like texture.
5. Bake the bites for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
6. Remove the Sweet Potato Breakfast Bites from the cookie sheet and let cool on a cookie rack.
7. Once they have cooled, they can be stored in an air-tight container on the counter for up to 3 or 4 days or in the fridge for a couple of weeks. They also freeze wonderfully.

Notes

Sweetener Tip: I would suggest baking one bite and testing for sweetness. If not sweet enough add a little more to your liking before baking the rest.
