5 Ingredients Sweet Potato Bake

Makes 2 servings

Most of my meals are even simpler than this, but I like to get a bit creative with the sweet meal of day. This makes for a delicious meal prep breakfast or a comforting dinner and it only has 5 ingredients! You can even skip the baking part if you’re tight on time.

Ingredients:

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, steamed
  • 2 cups cooked chickpeas
  • 1 big apple, sliced
  • a handful of raisins
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • date syrup/liquid sweetener (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven at 180 C/350 F.
  2. In a bowl, mash the potatoes and chickpeas (the chickpeas can be left whole if desired) and mix in the cinnamon.
  3. Spread the mixture in a baking dish. Arrange the apple slices and raisins on top and sprinkle some cinnamon.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes or until the apple gets soft.
  5. Set aside to cool and top with some liquid sweetener afterwards (optional).

Chickpeas and Oats Bake

chickpeas oatmeal
Makes 2 servings.

Look at those creamy baked oats! It makes for a great meal prepped breakfast, just double or triple the ingredients and split them into pack away containers. Me and my husband enjoyed ours outdoors after a nice walk in the forest. They were light and delicious, but also full of protein.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked chickpeas
  • 1 cup oat flakes
  • 2 bananas
  • 2 tbsp flax meal
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 4 cups water/plant milk (I used water)
  • 2 handfuls of cherries

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven at 180 C/350 F.
  2. Mash the chickpeas (optional, I didn’t) for extra creaminess and chop 1.5 bananas.
  3. In a bowl, add the hot water/milk, oats, chickpeas, chopped banana, flax, cinnamon and 3/4 cherries, then mix and set aside to thicken for 10 minutes.
  4. Pour the mixture into one or two baking containers and top with the remaining banana and cherries.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the top looks cooked.
  6. Set aside for 30 minutes to cool and thicken even more.

Notes:

  1. Cherries can be substituted with any fruit you have available. I would bake my next batch with frozen raspberries.
  2. You certainly don’t need to bake this. While baking will offer a more beautiful appearance and nicer texture, the microwave or stove top will also suffice when in a hurry.
  3. Experiment with the toppings: nuts and seeds are perfect for a bit of a crunch.
