I literally think I’m immune to my deodorant. Straight up. I won’t be sweating, then as soon as I put my deodorant on, I’m pouring sweat. Seriously, pouring. It’s either one of two things….1) I’ve used the same deodorant for so long that my body is pissed and is resenting it, thus sweating more to flush the invading deodorant away or 2) My body knows that as soon as deodorant is applied, it’s go time. Whether that means a wod, or a trip to Whole Foods, or to a coffee shop, my body knows sh*t is about to go down and it’s physically preparing itself. Either way, I think I need a new deo. This deo just ain’t cuttin’ it bro.
You know what I got goin’ on this weekend? A CrossFit competition. Yes sir. CrossFit Eminence is putting on quite the little competition that day. Winter WodFest to be exact. Wods and heats have already been announced! Citing. Yes, that was exciting in the shortened version. I should seriously think about making brownies and selling those b*tches for $5 a pop. They wouldn’t sell, who the f*ck in there right mind would buy a brownie for $5?? Well, I would, but I REALLY like food, especially in chocolate form. And these aren’t made with with 2lbs of almond flour that makes me feel like I ate a cat for dinner. F*cking cats. Excess almond flour just weighs me down. Yep, sure does. But hey, if you’re looking to learn more about your diet and all the crazy sh*t that goes along with eating in our day and age, you should check out the Whole9 Seminar going on at CrossFit Eminence May 20th! Good info to help you figure out what works for you!
So this recipe is pretty damn delicious. Jake gave it a 8.5 out of 10…he said it would have been higher if he would have gotten a bigger portion. He’s a big dude, he eats a lot, but feeding myself is a bigger priority, sooooo he gets what he gets. Anywho, I loved this recipe. I got the inspiration from a sweet potato salad at Tony’s Market right by our gym. They have daaaaamn good food and daaaaaamn expensive food. Eating there is a real joy since I have to question eating for the rest of the week afterward because of the hole they’ve burnt in my pocket. That was a joke. I don’t have pockets. I wear spandex. But seriously, it’s not a joy to spend that much money. Sorry Tony.
But for real, I think this a great breakfast alternative if you’re still unsure what to eat for breakfast. I’ll eat anything for breakfast if it has something to do with meat. I recommend topping these sweet potato cakes off with a breakfast sausage patty or a burger AND THEN an egg. Genius effing idea Juli, I know!
By the way, I have a BIG announcement Friday. Be sure to check out the website for the exciting news. Hehehehehe. So cited.
Cranberry Sweet Potato Breakfast Cakes
- Yield: 3+ 1x
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons fresh or dried parsley
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1/2 red onion, sliced thin
- 2–3 egg whites, beaten
- 6 eggs (or more if needed)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoon oil (olive, coconut, bacon fat, etc)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees to get your sweet potatoes baked.
- Use a fork to poke holes all around each one of your sweet potatoes.
- Throw the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, throw in the oven, and bake for 25-35 minutes or until soft to the touch. (the time will range depending on the size of the sweet potatoes)
- In a large bowl, add your sweet potatoes and use a fork or masher to mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Add your dried cranberries, parsley, onion, and salt and pepper.
- Mix thoroughly then taste to see if you want to add any more spices.
- Now add 2 egg whites that were beaten to your sweet potatoes and mix well. I say 2-3 on the ingredients because you may need 3 if your sweet potatoes are large. To figure out what how many you need, try to use your hands to clump up a patty, if it sticks to your hands completely, you need an extra egg white.
- Now make 6 or more patties from your sweet potato mixture.
- Heat up a large skillet under medium heat with 2 tablespoons of oil in it, then add your patties. Cook on each side for 3-5 minutes or until they have a nice outside crisp to them.
- Now grease a8×8 glass baking dish or whatever works for you then add your cooked patties to baking dish.
- Use a spoon to push down in the middle of each patty just enough that when you crack an egg on top, it will stay on your patty.
- Crack eggs directly on top of sweet potato cakes.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until yolk is cooked to preference.
- While the eggs are baking, add your sliced onions directly to your hot greased skillet and let those caramelize in the meantime. My caramelization means burnt, but cook onions to what you love.
- Top caramelized onions on top of baked eggs on sweet potato cakes. Then top everything off with a little bit of hotness. Bomb dig.

What a great combination, these look awesome. Can’t wait to try them. I may have to stop by the store and pick up some dried cranberries just so I can make them for breakfast in the morning!
Good!! hope you like them Tarah!
Yep, made them for breakfast this morning and they were awesome! Even got a text from the husband telling me how good they were. I couldn’t find any dried cranberries without extra sugar added so I did dried cherries and it was still very good!
Yay!! Glad you and your husband liked them Tarah!! Dried cranberries without added sugar are definitely hard to find. Cherries is a perfect substitute!!
Almond flour and cats both suck. These cakes and shih tzus on the other hand? Way cool. Have fun this weekend and kick as little @$$.
Thanks Tom! I’ll be trying my best!
After your other sweet potato recipe, I can’t WAIT to make this today – right after work! You’ve made me realize that eggs over easy on sweet potatoes is pretty much the best thing everrr. & me, three, on the onions. Not just onions. I burned some kale chips the other day and they were delicious! I also love the burnt edges on a med rare steak. Mmmm…ohhhh, btwww, I got a 7-cup Cuisinart food processor yesterday!! & OMG, it’s 50x better than the Ninja!!! I’m gonna be making nut butters as much as you now! So excited!! 😀
howd they turn out Chrissy!? I love my Cuisinart, it’s the best tool in my entire kitchen!!
Had a change of plans the other day and didn’t get to make them…gotta get more eggs today and then I will get back to you! Btw, did you find the processor as complicated and hard to understand as I did or am I just retarded? LOL I’m gonna have to watch the DVD to figure out how to use the slicer/shredder discs…
Lol they definitely can be confusing. I hear this a lot. You’ll get it though. It will make sense once you finally get desperate and read the manual lol
I made these this morning using leftover roasted sweet potato fries from last night.
Wow. I am rendered speechless by how wonderful the flavors were. And the texture … amazing.
Thank you!
That is AWESOME Nathe!! Glad you liked them!!
Im so gonna make this!
To all sweet potatoe lovers, theres a type called Kumara from New Zealand that is seriously the greatest tasting sweet potatoe ever…..trust me if you can find it, eat it by the boat load
are you from New Zealand Alistair?
i LOVE kumara… i love the purple skinned gold ones.. i’m a kiwi living out of nz and aside from family ( and that includes the dog) thats the number 1 thing i want imported!!
I train with a Kiwi daily Amy. I decided I’m going to marry one someday. Is that weird?
I made this today and paired it with cranberry turkey sausages! It was a Thanksgiving miracle… in January!!! Seriously so yummy. everyone should eat this now.
Yummmm!! Genius Jenn!!
Yup, I’m a genuine kiwi Juli
oops, forgot to add that i now live in Sydney Australia though.
I love it here, such a great place
i want this NOW…
Make it. NOW!
Had some leftover mashed-up sweet potatoes from another P-OMG recipe so, hey, what’s another couple of cooked sweet potatoes?
After combining all the ingredients and trying to get them to hold their burger-shape, things went a little FUBAR. Small patties and large eggs meant eggs-runneth-over everywhere. Meh.
Solution: in lieu of patties, fill up muffin tins with sweet-potato mashup. Add chopped bacon on top (or keep the above-listed ingredients for the vegetarians; use the caremelized onions), then crack an egg on top and throw in the oven for 8-12 minutes (depending on how runny you want your egg). From breakfast burger to breakfast muffin. Or midnight snack. At 2 PM. Whatever, dont judge.
Love it Bryan. You’re smart. i like that.
