While I admit that I do enjoy my sweet potatoes, sometimes plain ol’ yams become a bit boring. Here’s one of my latest concoctions for a breakfast blast that’s easy to take with you out the door! * * *
What You Need: 3 cups yams pureéd, 1 cup egg whites, 1.5 cups plain or vanilla protein, .5 cup pure stevia, 1.5 Tbsp cinnamon, 1tsp allspice (optional), 1/2-3/4 cup coarsely ground almonds, small amount of coconut oil (optional)
Method: Preheatoven to 350°F. Pureé the yams with a mixer or food processor. (Note: I used both some whole baked yams I had left in the fridge, as well as some organic canned sweet potato pureé to come up with 3 full cups). Mix in egg whites, protein powder, stevia and spices. Pour mixture into lightly greased muffin tin (I spritzed mine with coconut oil). Coarsely grind almonds in food processor or grinder for topping. Sprinkle over each muffin to lightly cover. Optional: drizzle a small amount of coconut oil over the almond topping. Bake for 25-30min, or until firm but still moist. (check frequently as oven times will likely vary)
