Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
