Sweet potato Muffins

This is also a great idea when you are traveling or on the go.

In a bowl mix

8 oz sweet potato I first bake them in the oven the mash them into like mash potatoes.
2 cups dry oat meal
1 cup egg whites
1 whole egg
1 tbsp of vanilla
Cinnamon
1/4 cup Stevia (or to taste)

Get a muffin pan with 12 and spray with pam
Cook at 350 for 30 minutes


Comes out to 18 carbs per muffin.

Sweet potato healthy fryes.

1)Take a 4 oz potato ( or whatever oz. you diet calls for) and feed it through a Cuisinart mixer, with the slicing attachment.

* you can also just slice potatoes super thin if you don't have this machine

2) Line a cookie sheet with foil.

3) lay out the thin slices on the pan, sprinkle with salt and bake at 400 for 15-17 minutes. Decrease heat to 300 and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Turn oven off, and leave door slightly open. Let cool in oven.

They come out crispy and soooo yummy!

would also work for yams for yam lovers as myself..I'd sprinkle them with cinammon instead of salt but cook them the same..

Many thanks! I love the fries - that is how I typically fix them. I'm addicted. Matter of fact, I might fix some today for lunch!!

I'll let you know how the muffins turn out!

You already have egg whites in there. However, I've never try it, but mix in protein powder (vanilla) or cottage cheese. I make oats pancakes with cottage cheese and it's very good..

You can also add more eggs, but will have to add more sweet potato for consistency.
