Sweet Potato Muffins

Makes 12 muffins

I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that I love baking with sweet potatoes.  They provide extra sweetness while packing in tons of healthy fiber.  These muffins are naturally gluten and dairy-free, and take no time to throw together.  Try making them with your kids, they will become your family’s favorite go-to anytime snack!  This slightly adapted recipe is courtesy of Super Healthy Kids.  You can see the original recipe here: http://www.superhealthykids.com/flourless-sweet-potato-blender-muffins/
