Sweetpotato Blueberry Baked Oatmeal

Developed by Sarah Schlichter, MPH, RDN for the North Carolina Sweetpotato Commission
This Sweetpotato Blueberry Baked Oatmeal is the pre-long run breakfast of your dreams. This healthy form of “carb loading” offers complex carbohydrates through oats and sweetpotatoes to power you through your long runs or workouts. You’ll also get some electrolytes and ample antioxidants to help counter muscle breakdown. Allow at least an hour to digest after eating before your workout so your muscles can utilize the carbohydrates for energy. If enjoying after your workout, slather with yogurt, peanut butter, or pair with eggs or a protein shake for necessary protein! Enjoy!
