Sweet Potato Chickpea Cake Buddha Bowls for a delicious gluten-free meal!Sweet Potato Chickpea Cake Buddha Bowls for a delicious gluten-free meal!

Your third savory meal recipe of the week is HERE and these Sweet Potato Chickpea Cakes are going to be your absolute favorite.

They are so simple and easy to make. And they’re AMAZING to add to pretty much any dish, but today we are adding them to our buddha bowls.

I am pretty sure I eat every meal out of a bowl even when it is something random like tacos. There is something about eating out of a bowl that is so comforting to me. Kind of like how I use the smaller sized silverware too for forks and spoons. I am so weird, I know..

But these Sweet Potato Chickpea Cake Buddha Bowls are the ultimate dish for next week’s meal prep (just sayin’). The cakes are made with just five ingredients – sweet potatoes, chick peas, quinoa, almond flour and Sir Kensington’s Dijonnaise aka the best part.

Sir Kensington’s Dijonnaise is a staple in our kitchen. It is a blend of their classic mayo, dijon and whole grain mustard. Talk about a trifecta.. It is amazing on a sandwich, in tuna salad and now in these sweet potato cakes. It adds a kick of flavor to the cakes that you are going to love.

Sir Kensington’s has a dedicated area in my fridge where I keep all my mayo, mustards and ketchups (BTW they have new squeeze bottles omg). I am also obsessing over their new mayo that is coming out this summer with NO added sugar! YAS please. That is a game changer especially for all the Whole30 peeps out there.

I use their mustard in my Crispy Dijon Brussels Sprouts, mayo Sweet Potato Latkes and fabanaise in the 5-ingredeint Salmon Burgers. SO MANY OPTIONS!

The SK team is pretty much taking over the restaurant scene right now. When I am out to lunch or dinner in NYC I keep noticing their ketchups and mustards all over.

  • You can get creative with the other items in this bowl but I loved the quinoa, kale and avocado mix. It was super satisfying and you hit up all the protein, carbs and healthy fats (heyyooo)
