Sweet Potato Protein Muffins

May 22, 2014 By Sylvia Favela Leave a Comment

Sweet Potatoes! My favorites…they are naturally sweet and are the perfect complex carbohydrate.  They smell so yummy when they are baking in the oven. With this recipe I use my favorite ingredient into delicious muffins.

Most muffin recipes use white flour, sugar, canola oil and dairy – but not these healthy muffins. Each of these Sweet Potato Protein Muffins is packed with nutrients, vitamins, minerals and 9 full grams of protein. Perfect for a pre-workout treat or as a nutritious breakfast.

Here’s what you need:

  • 1 cup almonds (or almond flour)
  • 10 dates, soaked in hot water for 10 minutes
  • 1 cup baked sweet potato, skin removed
  • 1 cup vanilla flavored protein powder
  • 3 organic eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • pinch of sea salt

1. Poke a sweet potato all over with a fork and bake at 425 degrees F for 40 minutes. Remove from oven, cool, and remove the skin. Reduce oven temperature to 350.

2. Pulse the almonds in a food processor until finely ground. Add the remaining ingredients to the food processor and pulse until fully combined.

3. Generously grease a 12-muffin tin with coconut oil. Divide the batter between the 12 muffin tins and bake for 15-20 minutes.
