Sweet Potato Protein Muffins

Yesterday was the perfect day to experiment with a new recipe because it was raining and cold outside!  I wasn't sure how these muffins would turn out because I was winging it, but I LOVE them!  Here's how I made them:


First, get your ingredients together and preheat your oven to 350 degrees:
• 1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potato
• 1 banana
• 1/2 cup oats (grind up into oat flour)
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds
• 2 scoops Biotrust vanilla protein powder
• 1 tbsp. coconut flour
• 4 packets stevia
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 whole egg
• 1 egg white


Next, go ahead and cook the sweet potato.  I just peeled mine, rinsed it off, stabbed it with a knife a few times (to let steam escape), wrapped it in a paper towel, and microwaved it for a few minutes until it was soft.  Once it's done, chop it up and let it cool.  Next, go ahead and mix together your dry ingredients.  Add your oat flour (just grind up oats into a fine powder), protein powder, coconut flour, stevia, baking powder, and cinnamon to a bowl and mix.

Next, mix up your liquids.  In a blender, add your cooled sweet potato, banana, egg, and egg white.  Blend it together until smooth.  Then, mix it in with your dry ingredients.  Once they are mixed well, you can toss in some of the sliced almonds - save a few to put on top of the muffins if you'd like.

Get out your muffin tin and spray with some non-stick spray.  Divide the batter evenly into each space.

Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until done.  I realized halfway in that I forgot to put almonds on top, oops!


You can eat them plain or add the topping of your choice!


I topped mine with some PB2 - delish!
