I teased you yesterday with a mention of nachos for breakfast. Did I have you intrigued? I sure hope so, because it is not every day that you eat nachos for breakfast. At least I hope you don’t ;). Now, I am not talking about the traditional nachos with tortilla chips, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and guac (though eating guac for breakfast is fantastic), I am talking about healthier breakfast nachos made with my favorite fruits, veggies, and nuts.
Drooling yet? Yeah, you are probably going to need to make these…and soon!
I have mentioned before that I love to top sweet potatoes with nut butters, and you have seen the baked sweet potato topped with peanut butter for breakfast in several of my past What I Ate Wednesday posts. I have also seen quite a few mentions of sweet potato nachos around the blogging world over the past few months. I decided to combine these two ideas and these tasty Sweet Potato Breakfast Nachos were born!
Servings: Makes 1 plate of nachos
Ingredients
1 medium sweet potato (try to choose one that is long and skinny as opposed to round and fat ;))
coconut oil cooking spray (I buy mine at Trader Joe’s) or regular cooking spray
pumpkin pie spice
cinnamon
half medium banana, sliced
3 TB peanut flour (I used PB2) + approximately 2 TB water, mixed to make peanut “sauce”
1 TB raisins (or other dried fruit)
1 TB chopped nuts (I used cashews)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with coconut oil spray. Set aside.
2. Slice the sweet potato into even slices to resemble “chips.” Mine were about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Lay the potato slices onto the baking sheet, spray with coconut oil spray, and sprinkle generously with pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon.
4. Roast the potatoes for approximately 15 minutes. Flip the potatoes, spray with additional coconut oil spray, and sprinkle with additional pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon.
5. Return the potatoes to the oven and roast for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
6. Plate your potatoes and top them off with the banana slices, peanut sauce, raisins, and nuts.
7. Dig in.
I ate my breakfast nachos with a knife and a fork (yes, I am a lady ;)), but you could certainly go at these as finger food. But be warned, they will be messy. Melty nut butter is messy, but oh so good!
I think it is a pretty safe bet for me to assume that you are probably a fan of nachos. Seriously, who doesn’t love them? But I also think it is a pretty safe bet to assume that you will also be a major fan of breakfast nachos. Sweet potatoes, fruits, nuts, and nut butter all piled high? Yes, please!
Have you ever eaten nachos for breakfast? Were they traditional nachos or made with breakfast ingredients?
Have you tried sweet potatoes for breakfast?

SO creative!!! I love nachos, both sweet and savory but I haven’t had them in forever! You know I’m a huge sweet tater fan, so I’m totally on board.
Oh yes, you can never go wrong with the sweet potatoes!!!
We totally love the same foods. I should make this for breakfast. Or lunch lol
Or both!! 😉
I can’t wait to make these nachos are my favorite food ever!
I would never have guessed that by your blog name! 😉 Let me know if you try them out!
Yum, yum, yum….. This will be made ASAP!
This definitely sounds like something you would like…especially topped with your delicious homemade AB! 🙂
Nachos are one of my main food groups and now you’re telling me I can have them for breakfast??! Where do I sign up? 😉 YUM – This recipe seriously looks delicious.
Yes!! Nachos for all and for ALL times of the day!
While I suck at switching up my breakfasts (I’m seriously STUCK on oatmeal), I can definitely see this happening for lunch or dinner. I’ve yet to give sweet potato nachos a try, but I’m loving the sweet spin you put on them!
Oh yes, you definitely must try them…and maybe top them with some Justin’s?? 😉
so pretty sure you are a genius! Love this idea!! I also really love to make apple nachos!
Haha, thanks! 😉 I have never had apple nachos, but they sounds super duper tasty!
Two thumbs up for this recipe! I never thought about making sweet taters like this for breakfast. Hello meal plan for next week!
Oh, yes! These are a definite must add to everyone’s meal plan! 😉
Such a fun idea! I love it. I could see doing a savory option for this too with eggs, veggies and cheese.
Oooo a savory option sounds tasty! You should try that out and let me know how it is!
Why did I NEVER though of pair sweet potatoes with banana?? That is genius!! That plate looks heavenly, I would totally eat that for breakfast!
Sweet potatoes and bananas taste great together! This was the first time that I combined the two into one dish, and I was loving it :).
Ummm nachos for breakfast is a great idea!! And especially with sweet potatoes! This sounds pretty darn awesome friend!
Thanks so much, Ashley!! 🙂
This is such a cute idea! i am a nachos fiend, I never thought to make sweet nachos but I can dig it 🙂 looks great, especially the cashew part.
The cashews were a must! Gotta balance out the sweetness of the potatoes, bananas, and raisins with some saltiness!
Wow, what a creative breakfast! I’ve had sweet potato pancakes but never nachos. Looks delicious!
Thanks so much! I STILL haven’t tried sweet potato pancakes, but I really want to. I’ll have to add those to my list of foods to make soon.
Yum! These look really delicious! I love sweet potatoes for breakfast!
Yay for sweet taters for breakfast! I love when I find others who love them for breakfast, too!
This is genius!!! Thank you 🙂
Thanks so much for you kind words, Amy! 🙂
This is a great idea!
I love nut butter on sweet potatoes, and I love incorporating squash in my breakfast bowls, so I’ll have to give this a try sometime!
Yes, you definitely should Danica! I think you would REALLY like these :).
Those sound so stinking delicious! I’ve never eaten the skin of sweet potatoes before… Are they tough?
Not really..just like a regular baked potato. I ALWAYS leave my skin on..mostly because I’m lazy ;).
These look amazing!! I’ve just pinned them to my breakfast Pinterest board and can’t wait to try them!! OMNOMNOM 😉
Thanks so much, Jan! I can’t wait to hear what you think!
Sweet potatoes and bananas?! I never tried but now that I think about it, that would taste amazing together!
They really do taste great together…the perfect balance of sweetness!
Yum!! Brilliant idea Hannah! 🙂
Aww, thanks Meredith! I SO appreciate it :).
Oh my gosh yum! The only time I’ve had sweet potato in my breakfast is in oatmeal (I just used canned sweet potato puree). But I seriously love this idea!
Sweet potatoes for breakfast are where it’s at!! 🙂
This sounds like such a fun breakfast! I love sweet potatoes but have never eaten them in nacho form, let alone nachos for breakfast!
It turns out that nachos are for EVERY time of day! 😉
this…is borderline illegal.
So much goodness and for breakfast? Genius!
Thanks so much Arman! And thank goodness they aren’t actually illegal or I would be in major trouble. I can’t say no to these!
This looks awesome!
So creative, I love it.
Thanks so much, Cara!
this is the most brilliant idea ever! I would eat them for any meal…coconut, cranberries and pecans I bet would be fab 🙂 thanks for sharing!
Thanks Robyn! Seriously, the toppings are endless…but nut butter is always a requirement, of course! 😉
I can’t wait to make it! I have a question about the peanut sauce – are you saying use peanut butter and water? I’ve never made or seen peanut flour. Thanks for your feedback.
Monica
Peanut sauce is made with peanut flour and water. Google PB2 and you will know what I’m talking about. If you cannot find that, you could always just melt some peanut butter in the microwave a bit and it will get more liquidy (you may need to add a little almond milk). I hope that helps!
Thank you so much!
