  • In a bowl add the oats, apple butter, maple syrup, crushed pecans, and ½ cooked potatoes. Stir until combine. Top with other half of cooked potatoes, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, cinnamon, crushed pecans, and sea salt flakes.

Maple Walnut Sweet Potato

  • Pre heat oven to 400°F (200°). Peel and chop sweet potato. To a parchment paper lined pan, add chopped sweet potatoes, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and cinnamon. Toss until potatoes are evenly coated and baked covered for 15 to 20 minutes until potatoes are soft and fork tender.
