Servings: 4 people
Calories: 319kcal
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- ½ cup gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¼ cup pecans chopped
- ¼ cup slivered almonds
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon coarse salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork and arrange on a baking sheet. Bake the potatoes until tender, about 45 minutes, and let cool slightly. Leave the oven on.
- Meanwhile, combine the oats, pecans, almonds, cinnamon, maple syrup, coconut oil, and salt in a bowl. Pour the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
- Split each sweet potato just enough for it to open slightly on top. Top each potato with a quarter of the oat mixture and serve warm.
