The natural sweetness of sweet potatoes combined with the wholesome goodness of oatmeal and the protein boost from whey powder make these muffins an excellent choice for a healthy treat.

Ingredients:

2 sweet potatos
230g
1/2 cup multi-grain oatmeal
40g
4 scoops whey protein powder
120g
1 tbsp maple syrup
20g
4 tbsp egg whites
60g
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1.30g
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2.10g
1 tsp baking powder
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
- Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into small chunks.
- Place them in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
- Drain and mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
3. Blend Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, multi-grain oatmeal, and whey protein powder. Mix well until evenly combined.
- Add the maple syrup, egg whites, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and baking powder to the mixture. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
4. Prepare Muffin Tin:
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with cooking oil to prevent sticking.

5. Fill Muffin Tins:
- Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

6. Bake:
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

7. Cool and Serve:
- Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Tips:

- Prepare the sweet potatoes ahead of time by baking or boiling until soft. This will make the mashing process easier and quicker.

- Ensure that the mashed sweet potatoes are completely cooled before mixing with the other ingredients to avoid affecting the texture of the muffins.

- For added flavor, consider sprinkling a touch of nutmeg or adding some chopped nuts or dried fruits to the batter.

- Use an ice cream scoop to evenly portion the batter into the muffin tins, ensuring consistent muffin sizes for even baking.

- Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for longer storage.

These sweet potato muffins are a perfect blend of health and taste. They are easy to make and ideal for meal prepping, ensuring you have a nutritious snack ready whenever you need it. Whether you're enjoying them for breakfast, as a post-workout snack, or just craving something sweet yet healthy, these muffins are sure to satisfy.
