Sweet Potato Muffin with Flax Egg

Sweet Potato Muffin

Don't be scared by the idea of sweet potato in a muffin. This recipes is sweet enough to be dessert but nutritious and filling enough to be a meal. I recommend using a blender to combine the ingredients, however, I did not have one available and used my immersion mixer. It was a bit more difficult to mix as a result and I ended up with some sweet potato chunks in my muffins. This would have been avoided had I used a blender.

How to make a flax egg

For the equivalent of 1 egg: Mix 1 Tablespoon of Mike's Mix Ground Flax with 3 Tablespoons water. Let sit for 15 minutes before use.
