We’re strolling right past dinner and onto dessert with this! These Loaded Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes are packed with protein, super easy to make, and absolutely delicious. Did I mention how well they pair with our Loaded Twice Baked Potatoes?
Start this one with a fork and 3 sweet potatoes. Dessert sized. Poke them with your fork so they can breathe and throw them in the microwave for around 12-15 minutes. If your microwave has a potato setting, just use that and flip them halfway through.
You could also make your sweet potatoes in the oven too, I just prefer to save some time here (even if they’re called twice baked sweet potatoes!). If you’d like to make them in the oven, they’ll take around 40-50 minutes on 350F/176C.
Remove them from the microwave if that’s where you made them and after a couple minutes chop each one in half. Scoop your sweet potato out into a bowl as well as you can, they don’t need to be perfect.
Follow that by adding in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 container of a Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of melted butter, 2 tablespoons of a sweetener, 2 teaspoons of a brown sugar substitute, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 2 scoops of a vanilla protein powder, and some crushed up pecans.
Mix all of those up good and while it’s mixing add in 1/4 cup of some coconut flour to thicken it up.
Load them up!
Evenly distribute your mix into your sweet potato skins. Pack them as tight as you can here, you want to make sure you use all of your mix.
Top them these loaded twice baked sweet potatoes with whatever you want. Today we’re doing crushed up pecans, ground cinnamon, and a couple chocolate chips.
Take those and bake them in the oven on 350F/176C for 40 minutes.
