Sweet Potato French Toast & Plum Syrup – In the Instant Pot!

We normally have scrambled eggs for breakfast.. every. single. day. I don’t mind it during the week, but on the weekends when we have a little more time- I’m ready to switch the breakfast menu up! I’m not a huge fan of sweets for breakfast, so the sweetness of the sweet potatoes and plums is enough for me. Feel free to add a sweetener to your plum sauce, or use traditional maple syrup!

Be sure to pick a maple syrup that is actually maple syrup- many of the commercial brands are actually just corn syrup, water, and caramel color. (Yikes). You can purchase organic and 100% maple syrup here:

Instructions:

Wash and scrub your sweet potatoes. Carefully cut them longwise into slices.

Add 1 cup of water and 1 tablespoon vanilla to the Instant Pot

Place trivet in the Instant Pot, and set your sweet potato slices on top.

Add the lid, and be honest with yourself- how thick did you really cut your sweet potato slices? If you are a master chef, and cut thin, beautiful, uniform slices, you can set your Instant Pot to Manual – 1 minute. If you are like me, and have uneven and thick slices- you better go with Manual – 2 minutes. 😀

In a mixing bowl, mix eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla salt

When the time is up in the Instant Pot, wait 5 minutes, and then use the quick release method.

Remove the sweet potatoes and let the slices cool until you are able to handle them.

While they are cooling, dump the water out of your Instant Pot (carefully!).

Add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, and set the Instant Pot to Saute.

When the oil is hot- add the plums to the Instant Pot. Using a wooden spoon, stir every few minutes as the plums break down. Saute until broken down to a “syrup” consistency. At this point, you can easily remove the skins, if you haven’t already. Turn the Instant Pot off, and stir in sweetener (totally optional).

Turn the frying pan on medium-high, add coconut oil.

Dredge the slices in the egg mixture, fry on both side until golden brown.

Repeat until all the slices are fried up.

Top with plum syrup and more cinnamon!

I actually cut one of my sweet potatoes into thick wedges- essentially paleo sweet potato french toast stick for my toddler. He LOVED them! I just happened to have plums in the fridge, this would absolutely work with other stone fruit- peaches, apricots, etc. 😀
