Sweet Potato Blueberry Protein Muffins

I had some sweet potatoes lying around and was craving a muffin. So I whipped these together and they came out amazing!!! And you can throw these into the blender with the oats, sweet potato, yogurt, protein powder, and blueberries and you are ready to bake!

 

Enjoy! xo Jen

 

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 small sweet potato, cooked, peeled, & roughly chopped
1 cup plain yogurt – I used Siggi’s 4%
2 large eggs
2 scoops Vanilla Protein Powder
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
1 1/2 cup blueberries

 

 

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Add the oats to your blender and process until a flour forms (about 30 seconds).

Add the sweet potato, yogurt, eggs, protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and blend again until well combined and smooth. The batter will be very thick. Carefully stir in the blueberries. Or you can transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the blueberries that way.

Fill 12 greased muffin tins to 3/4 full.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
