Sweet Potato and Apple Breakfast Bake + Weekly Menu

I got out of bed at 8:45am today. I can’t remember the last time I slept in (mind you, this was after wake-ups to nurse the baby at 12:45am and 5:15am) and I enjoyed every second of it. Of course, upon rising, I asked Mark what time the baby got up – 7:30am! That child hasn’t slept past 6:30am in months (and, ahem, she’s 4 months tomorrow).

She’s 4 months old? Time is whizzing by – sad. 🙁

So, anyway. I got up and immediately started making this Sweet Potato and Apple Breakfast Bake. I found the recipe on Pinterest while perusing Whole30 recipes to keep this 30 days trucking along painlessly (ha!).

It wasn’t hard to make, but a bit time-consuming. It’s the perfect thing to make on a leisurely Saturday morning and also the perfect thing to reheat in the days ahead.

There’s nothing carb-y about it (carb-y in the pancake and waffle kind of carb-y) and it’s just mildly sweet. But with bursts of sweetness from the raisins and a bit of a crunch from the walnuts, this breakfast bake is money. It was even husband-approved!

As I sipped my Whole30 approved coconut milk and cashew milk latte while eating this fruit and veggie-filled breakfast, I was begrudgingly sharing bites with the toddler. She’s like a little bird – she says, “Bite!” and then sits there with her mouth wide open. Good thing she’s cute…I want leftovers for this week!

    Great breakfast ideas! Now I can start each day without thinking what to prepare for breakfast.

      It takes a few minutes to whip together, but reheats really well!

    Dude. This looks fantastic. I’m doing a W30 too, and am definitely going to make this next weekend.

    Do you think this could be assembled the night before and then baked in the morning?

      Hi Kristina! I have not tried, but I would tend to say yes. Hope you enjoy!

    Is there a way to do this in a crockpot?

      Might work – would do low for 4-6 hours probably. Not sure, though!

    I am making this tonight. I doubled the recipe and made two round “cakes” using a springform pan. They are currently cooling and I will be frosting them tomorrow with coconut cream frosting for my friend’s birthday. She doesn’t eat dessert, or grains, or sugar, or dairy. Question — do you refrigerate this or can it stay on the counter like a regular cake?

      So sorry for the delay in my response! It is fairly moist, so I would refrigerate ๐Ÿ™‚
