Sweet Potato Paleo Pancake Muffins

I've recently been posting more breakfast/snack-type muffin recipes because that's what I have been prepping for my mom to eat. However, this sweet potato muffin recipe was 100% for me! I came across a delicious looking and simple-ingredient sweet potato paleo pancake recipe (link is below) and saved it to make one of these weekends. Then I got to thinking how I am in this class all week and how I will most definitely need to pack a lot more food than normal. This is how I came about turning that pancake recipe into a muffin recipe and found the best snack ever to pack for the week. I subbed out the coconut flour for a scoop of Paleo Protein and thought it worked out perfectly. There is no need to add protein powder if you don't want it though. Next time I make these I'm going to use coconut flour as the recipe calls for. Anyways, these turned out delicious and I was happy to have a carb filled snack on-the-go that wasn't fruit!

Sweet Potato Paleo Pancake Muffins
Ingredients:

• 1 cup sweet potato, microwaved until soft and mashed
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp coconut flour (I used one scoop of Paleo Protein instead)
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp vanilla

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350. Mix together all ingredients and beat just until a batter forms.
2. Spray muffin tin pan with nonstick spray or use muffin liners. Fill ⅔ way full.
3. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. (It took me closer to 20 minutes for 8 muffins)
