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.

These look amazeballs! I can’t wait until my Sunday morning bfast to try these out. And by that I mean following bryan’s suggestion above, making these tonight so I can try them tomorrow!
hope you like them!!
Hey there! This recipe looks farking fantastic and I will try it as soon as I can get to the store to buy more sweet potatoes (just consumed the last of mine last night in the form of fries. Actually, they were baked, so does that make them “bakeds”? I dunno. I’m sticking to “fries” even if it’s not accurate).
I also want to share with you a possible solution to your deodorant woes – make your own! I tried this for the first time about two weeks ago and I will never go back to store-bought. I found this recipe online (link below):
1/8 C Baking Soda
1/8 C Cornstarch or arrowroot (I used cornstarch)
2-3 TBSP Coconut Oil
I added 15ish drops of lemon essential oil.
Combine all ingredients and it will form a paste which you can either keep in a jar in your bathroom OR (and this is what I did) you can reuse an old cleaned out deodorant container and keep it in the fridge. Chilling it like this will make it solid and you can apply it just like your regular deodorant. You just have to keep it in the fridge for it to keep it’s form. Since I used lemon essential oil, mine smells like a yummy lemon popsicle – it’s refreshing to put on after a shower. I used this concoction in its pasty form, too, and it works just as well.

You are awesome Kristin!! I definitely want to try this!! Can’t wait to see how my roommates feel about the deodorants in the fridge
I tried this recipe! My husband brought home sweet potatoes last night, which I turned into fries (bakeds) again to accompany our dinner. This morning I chopped and mashed up the leftovers and added the other ingredients – wow! This is my favorite new way to use up those leftover sweet potatoes! So many wonderful flavors – it kinda reminded me of thanksgiving. I used the caramelized onions on top but next time I’m thinking bacon is in order. Thank you for this!
Glad you liked it Kristin!!
Loved your article ( very funny)! This is how I think (very scary) ! Tweeked your recipe for what was on hand and voila! Sweet potatoe – walnut-kumquat cakes sauteed in coconut oil, Yum! I plan to visit more often.

Ooooo love it!! Glad they turned out delish still!!
Made these this morning with some minor tweaks, 1 egg instead of 2 egg whites, scrambled eggs instead of baked eggs….it was delicious! My husband loved it too. Thank you for sharing your recipes.
That’s great! Glad you both liked it!
I should have been smart and read the reviews before diving in to this recipe. Lots of people used leftover sweet potatoes — if I would have done that, I wouldn’t have had to wait so long just to get started and then burn my fingers trying to get the skins off the baked sweet potatoes. I’m dumb. And lazy. So all the steps were too much to take on when I was really hungry for breakfast. However, the taste of the finished product was pretty darn good, and even my husband said they were great (he is typically scared of baked eggs). Keep up the good work, Juli!
Lol I burnt myself too, it’s cool. Glad you still liked them!!
Thanks for another hilarious read and great recipe.
Here’s a thought — do you think it’s possible that the whole deo immunity thing could possibly be related to the whole single thing? Even just blogging about it could be putting them off? Guys (even f*ing hot xfit guys) are still stoopidly naive and prissy when it comes to potential dates and stinky sweat. Okay, you didn’t actually say stinky, that was just me assuming…
Who knows Louise, arm pit sweat will definitely still be talked about though. Almost every blog. Just plain fact
Absolutely loved this recipe! I made mine in muffin tins because I am lazy. Also I used dried cherries instead of cranberries since for some reason my daughter doesn’t like cranberries. (what’s up with that?). This was a big hit in my house. Thanks for sharing!
In muffin tins sounds awesome!!!
I didn’t know my taste buds were squirters!
Amazing. I added chicken sausage to the extremely charred onion topping. Needless to say, I highly reccomend it.
Lol squirters, ew. Sounds awesome Sam!
Is one cake a serving?? Just wondering…and I used muffin top tins but think I’ll try the regular muffin tins next time..had a bit of an “issue” keeping the eggs within the boundaries..damn rebellious eggs!
Yes maam, one serving. They are a bit rebellious sometimes. It’s all about putting them in their place
Yes, I would beat them…but they seem to like that! ;-P
They came out delicious!!! I added Sriracha to them after they were done and this morning I reheated it with a piece of salmon for breakfast…OMG yummy!
Oooo I love that! That sounds amazing!
Making this tomorrow! Sharing it with my friend! Looks so yummy! You are brilliant! Can I be you when I grow up? 😉
haha thanks so much Gena!! Hope you like it!!
