10+ Easy & Healthy Sweet Potato Breakfast & Dessert Recipes

APV Sweet Potato Roundup Collection Cover

Here’s a round-up of my best sweet potato healthy dessert recipes.

Although they originated from Central and South America, sweet potatoes are now considered a fundamental staple in many parts of the world. Sweet potatoes come in all sorts of colors, from brown, orange, purple, yellow, and red, but they all have a moist, sweetish taste, with a pleasant and aromatic smell. They’re also incredibly healthy – full of fiber, antioxidants and other nutrients.

The recipes below should give you an idea of how incredibly versatile and easy it is to incorporate this super-veggie into your next baking project. Most call for mashed sweet potatoes (which means you have to cook them first). Sometimes this could be a challenge since there are some times when I’m too lazy to boil or bake them in the oven 🙂 Here’s the easiest way I know how to cook sweet potatoes: microwave it on high for 6-10 minutes (depending on the size of the potato).

And without further ado…

1. Sweet Potato Mochi Donut (Baked!)

These sweet potato mochi donuts are soft, tender, and subtly sweet–it makes you wish fall was here sooner! (or wish it never went away). Prepared under 15 minutes, this sweet potato mochi donut recipe is easy, delicious, gluten-free as well as healthy. Check out the full recipe by clicking the link below:

2. Healthier Sweet Potato Mochi Ice Cream

Here’s my healthy version of mochi ice cream! You wouldn’t think sweet potato and ice cream go together until you try. The beautiful orange color of the sweet potato comes through in the dough and helps the mochi dough stay soft, sweet and chewy.

3. 3-Ingredient Sweet Potato Mochi Waffles “Moffle”

I hereby present you with the healthier, more fun version of waffles–sweet potato mochi waffles (also called moffles). You only need three ingredients, a waffle maker and five minutes of your precious time. The result? A unique and fun breakfast, a sweet treat guaranteed to bring a smile to everyone’s face.

And before we head on to the recipe, let me tell you these are 100% gluten free and vegan. Two words seldom seen in the same sentence with waffles. Sweet but not that much, chewy, but also crispy, fancy but also very chill. If you like mochi and/or waffles, you’ll love these.

4. Vegan Sweet Potato Mooncakes (Gluten-Free)

Here’s a chewy and delectable sweet potato mooncake recipe I’ve developed in my Healthier Mooncakes Experiment post. Made using almond flour, coconut flour, mashed sweet potatoes and coconut oil, these bright orange mooncakes are gluten-free and vegan-friendly. Definitely not your typical Chinese confectionaries that are made with flour and filled with egg yolks.

This no-bake treat is full of healthy fiber and protein, and the taste-wise subtle sweetness of sweet potatoes with maple syrup is delicious.

8. Sweet Potato Granola

Today I thought I’d share with you one of my best granola recipes, one I make with the first falling leaves every time I find a big, fat, sweet potato. How to beat the root veggie’s chewy and tender texture? And that honeyed sweetness! What’s not to love?

This particular sweet potato granola makes for a satisfying quick breakfast, made with old fashioned oats, mashed sweet potatoes and pecans — you’ll also love the addition of semi-dried sweet potatoes in this recipe!
