4 Large Eggs
1 1/2 Cups Almond Flour
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 tsp Baking Powder
Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line it with paper liners.
Mix Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed sweet potato, shredded coconut, raisins, chopped walnuts, honey, shredded carrot, eggs, almond flour, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and baking powder.
Stir the mixture until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Bake:
Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 2 minutes.
Then, carefully remove them from the tin and place them on a cooling rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins as a delightful breakfast or snack.
Coach’s Tips:
Texture Variety: Feel free to experiment with the texture by adding different nuts or dried fruits. Each ingredient adds its unique flavor and nutritional benefits.
Pump Up the Protein: To increase the protein content, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the batter, pairing the muffins with a glass of milk, or serving them alongside a portion of bacon or sausage.
Sweeten the Deal: For a sweeter touch, consider adding dark chocolate chips. Keep in mind that this will increase the calorie content, but dark chocolate also offers antioxidants and may provide health benefits.
Storage: Store leftover muffins in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for a day or refrigerated for longer freshness.
Serving Suggestion: These muffins pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea for a satisfying breakfast or afternoon snack.
