Warm, savory, and just a little sweet, this breakfast bowl is the kind of morning meal that actually keeps you full and satisfied for hours. Spiced ground pork gets cooked down with fresh sage, cinnamon, and ginger before being tossed with softened diced apple — the combination is deeply aromatic and way more interesting than your average breakfast protein. Caramelized plantain slices bring a naturally sweet, buttery richness that makes the whole bowl feel indulgent without any added grains or fillers. A fried egg on top ties everything together with a creamy yolk that acts almost like a sauce when you break into it. Every single component here is built from whole, recognizable ingredients — no grain-based fillers, no hidden thickeners, nothing that would sneak oats into your morning routine. If you've been hunting for a hearty breakfast that skips the porridge and granola entirely, this bowl delivers big flavor and real staying power without compromise. A drizzle of maple syrup at the end is optional but honestly worth it.

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped sage, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and 3/4 tsp salt. Mix with your hands until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned pork and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula, for 6–8 minutes until browned throughout with no pink remaining and an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Transfer the cooked pork to a bowl and set aside, leaving any rendered fat in the skillet.
