Description

This Cottage Cheese Sweet Potatoes recipe offers a wholesome, nutrient-packed twist on a classic comfort food. Baked sweet potatoes are tender and lightly spiced with cinnamon, then topped with creamy cottage cheese, crunchy granola, a drizzle of honey, and optional fresh berries for a naturally sweet and satisfying breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 1 Raw Sweet Potato (about 6 or 7 ounces)
  • ¼ teaspoon Olive Oil or Avocado Oil
  • Ground Cinnamon (to taste)

Toppings

  • ½ cup (113 grams) 2% Cottage Cheese
  • 2 tablespoons (13 grams) Granola
  • 1 teaspoon (7 grams) Honey
  • Fresh Berries, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). If you are using a toaster oven, select the BAKE setting and position the cooking rack on the lowest level to ensure even baking.
  2. Prepare Sweet Potato: Slice the sweet potato in half lengthwise. Rub the cut sides and skin lightly with olive oil or avocado oil to help soften the skin and enhance flavor.
  3. Bake: Place the sweet potato halves cut side down on a baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender, indicating they are cooked through. Once done, remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
  4. Mash and Spice: Flip the sweet potato halves so the cut side is up. Sprinkle them with ground cinnamon, then use a fork to mash the soft flesh gently to create a spreadable base.
  5. Add Toppings: Spoon the cottage cheese evenly over the mashed sweet potatoes. Sprinkle additional cinnamon and the granola on top, then drizzle with honey for a touch of natural sweetness.
  6. Optional Fresh Berries: Add fresh berries on top if desired for extra flavor, color, and nutrition. Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious and healthy dish.

Notes

  • The sweet potato size can vary; adjust baking time accordingly if using larger or smaller potatoes.
  • Use 2% cottage cheese for creaminess without too much fat, but you can substitute with low-fat or full-fat depending on preference.
  • Granola adds a nice crunch; choose a low-sugar granola to keep it healthier.
  • Honey can be replaced with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan-friendly option.
  • Fresh berries are optional but enhance both taste and visual appeal.
