Last updated on October 4, 2020.

Have you ever stuffed a sweet potato before? That might be a silly question for some, but I know some people haven’t tried it because I get messages all the time on Instagram when I do it! If you are one of those people, I am here to change your mind with this sweet potato breakfast.

Whenever I need a quick meal, my go-to is usually always stuffing some random things in a sweet potato. It makes a quick (especially if you have some sweet potatoes already prepped) and easy meal and, for me, everything tastes good with sweet potato.

So I figured why not take this idea and do it for breakfast! And I’m giving you a few different options to keep it interesting.

Whichever way you make them, they make a great option for a healthy and satisfying breakfast. They are a good balance of protein, carbs, and healthy fats and are great for on-the-go or post-workout fuel. You can totally customize them to meet your needs and preferences too.

They keep in the fridge for up to a week so make them ahead of time for meal prep to save time during the week. We store them in these glass meal prep containers and they stay super fresh all week long.

Whole30 Sweet Potato Breakfast 3 Ways

Depending on how you are feeling, I am giving you 3 options for these breakfast stuffed sweet potatoes. Whether you love the classic combo, you don’t like eggs, or want something sweet for breakfast. I got you covered. Each sweet potato breakfast only calls for 3 ingredients in the filling and some optional toppings.

This is what we have going on:

Bacon, egg, and avocado

The classic combo! Fry up your bacon, scramble some eggs in the bacon fat, and then stuff it in your sweet potato. I love to add some avocado and hot sauce or salsa on top of them for a little kick.

Subsitutions: use sausage instead of bacon

Additions: if you are not doing the Whole30, sprinkling some cheese on top would be delicious! You could also add some sauteed veggies (kale, mushroom, zucchini…) for some more veggies.

Chorizo, kale, and pepper

Not everyone likes eggs or can have them, so this is a delicious egg-free option. First, saute the chorizo for a few minutes. Then, add the peppers, saute for a few minutes, and then the kale until it is wilted and combined.

Subsitutions: use ground sausage (any flavor) or ground beef instead of chorizo. You can also use whatever veggies you want/have on hand.

Additions: add more veggies or some cheese (if not doing the Whole30)

Nut butter and fruit

Sometimes you just need a sweet breakfast! While this combo might sound strange (I’ve heard it plenty of time), it’s absolutely amazing. Kind of like peanut butter and jelly, but using sweet potato instead. I love sprinkling some cinnamon on top of it.

Subsitutions: use tahini or sunbutter for a nut-free option

Additions: if you are not doing the Whole30, I love adding yogurt to this combo! Simply add however much you like in the sweet potato and then top with nut butter and fruit. The warm sweet potato kind of melts the yogurt and makes it so creamy! You can also use coconut yogurt for a dairy-free and Whole30 option.

Meal prep & how to store breakfast stuffed sweet potatoes

The thing I love most about this sweet potato is it is easy to throw together. Depending on what variety you want to make, you can either prep it all or just a few components. Here are a few suggestions for prepping and storage:

• partial prep – cook your sweet potatoes, allow them to cool, and store in the fridge until you are ready to use. When you are ready, heat them up (I find the microwave is the easiest way). Cook or prep the stuffing of your choice, assemble, and enjoy!
• full prep – cook your sweet potatoes, allow them to cool, and store in the fridge. Depending on the variety you are making, either cook your bacon and eggs or chorizo mixture. If making the nut butter one, you can wash and chop up your fruit. Store each component in separate contains and then reheat (if needed) and assemble.
• storage and heating them up – Simply store the components separately and heat them up separately according to your liking. I find the microwave works best for reheating the components.
• best storage containers – these meal prep containers on Amazon are great! They keep everything fresh and are better for the environment since they are glass.

Cook for 10 minutes, flipping once halfway through until crispy. Place on a paper towel-lined plate and let cool. Leaving some bacon grease behind, add whisked eggs and any additional seasonings. Turn down heat to low and continuously move eggs with a spatula until cooked to your preference.
• Cut a slit lengthwise through the middle of the sweet potato. Gently press in on both ends to allow room for filling. Divide scrambled eggs, bacon, and avocado among two potatoes, splitting evenly.

Chorizo, Kale, & Pepper Breakfast Stuffed Sweet Potato

• Start cooking when the sweet potatoes have about 10 minutes left. In a large sauté pan over medium heat, add chorizo, breaking it up with the back of a spoon. Cook for 5 minutes until slightly browned. Add peppers and cook for 3 minutes until softened. Last, add kale and any additional seasonings and cook for another 2 minutes.
