Delicious muffins from sweet potato

Sweet potato in a muffins? If you are like me you will indulge in the clean, fresh taste in your mouth and the simple thought of it being healthy. Well, healthier than a normal flour-based muffin of course ;).

However in this recipe you use two odd ingredients as your base: Sweet potato and....PEANUT BUTTER! Yep, that's right. Peanut Butter. It tastes delicious and gives it a light and fluffy texture not too heavy on your stomach but just the right texture of a 'normal' muffin! Enjoy! Recipe below.

INGREDIENTS:

1 Cup of smooth unsalted, no sugar peanut butter
1/2 a cup of cooked and peeled mashed sweet potatoes
3 medium eggs
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 a teaspoon of cinnamon
1/2 a teaspoon of ginger
1/2 a teaspoon of vanilla essence
1/2 a teaspoon of sea salt
1/4 a cup of honey or maple syrup

INSTRUCTIONS:

Steam the sweet potato until soft and then crush with a fork. Allow it to cool.
While the sweet potato is being cooled, Add the rest of the ingredients into a bowl and beat with a beater until all mixed

Inspiration Wednesday!

Credits: Zandri Vorster (for keeping me on track with your beautiful words) I am feeling inspired today to do the things I love and to just live in the moment. All we do have is now and we are never guaranteed tomorrow, so why stress about it? Zandri told me ' This year is to enjoy' - as we are both taking a gap year and its turning out more stressful than planned. BUT, it is so true. Life is to enjoy Why waste your time on things that YOU DON'T ENJOY? I haven't wrote on my blog for a while and I told myself I would everyday because it is something I enjoy.. and then I got caught up in all of the things I don't enjoy. So here is to starting to writing again and ENJOYING life! - Keardear
