This paleo sweet potato apple breakfast bake is naturally sweet, teeming with warming cinnamon, packed with protein, healthy fats, and fiber. The dish reminds me of a New Orleans-style bread pudding with its cinnamon and raisins, but it's totally paleo.

Ingredients
¼cupghee
2mediumsweet potatoes(peeled and diced)
2medium apples(cored and diced)
2teaspoonscinnamon
⅔cupraisins
⅓cupwalnuts
salt(to taste)
6-8largeeggs(see Notes)
1cupfull-fat coconut milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325º.
Heat ghee in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, then add sweet potatoes. Cook, stirring often until beginning to soften, about 5-10 minutes.
Add in apples, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and raisins, and cook until apples are softened and raisins are plumped, about 8-10 minutes. Both apples and sweet potatoes should be easily pierced with a fork. If necessary, add in a little water to prevent sticking and burning. Add in in walnuts and salt, about 1/2 teaspoon to taste. Stir to combine well and sauté the mixture a minute or two
In a medium bowl, whisk eggs and coconut milk until smooth and well combined. Remove apple-sweet potato mixture from heat and pour egg mixture over. Smooth to cover with the back of a spoon. Bake for 20 minutes or until set. A knife stuck in the middle should come out clean.
Recipe Notes
Eggs:6 eggs creates a less eggy texture, so this is personal preference. I love both!
