Healthy, easy, moist and delicious low-carb cinnamon raisin sweet potato muffins with raisins, cranberries and walnuts or your choice of mix-ins! Baked with greek yogurt and fresh sweet potato and requiring absolutely NO sugar, butter or oil!
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
½ Cup Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
⅓ Cup Whole Wheat Flour
⅛ Cup Vanilla Flavored Protein Powder of your choice
Note: Use whatever brands of yogurt and protein powder you may prefer or have on hand, but in this recipe, I used Chobani plain greek 0% yogurt, and Designer Protein brand Sustained Energy vanilla protein powder. If you don't have any protein powder onhand, simply omit and increase your amount of flour by a few tablespoons.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine all wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine your dry ingredients.
Mix your wet and dry ingredients together well and set aside. In a small saucepan heat some water to boiling and add your raisins and cranberries to the water. Boil 2-3 minutes. Drain and discard water, and rinse with cold water. This brings out the flavor in your berries and is the secret to amazing flavor here!
After your berries have cooled for a few moments, fold into your batter and add walnuts if using.
Spray a muffin pan well with nonstick cooking spray. Bake 12-14 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out almost clean. Allow to cool a few minutes in the muffin pan after baking before removing. Serve warm or reheat for a few seconds in microwave before eating, or freeze after thoroughly cooled.
