Ingredients:
1/2 cup mashed sweet potato (cooked and cooled)
1/2 cup finely grated carrot
1 large egg (for binding)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, xylitol-free)
1 cup oat flour (or whole wheat flour)
1 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for fluffier muffins)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin or line with paper liners.
Combine the wet ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, grated carrot, egg, and Greek yogurt. Mix until smooth.
Add the dry ingredients:
Gradually stir in the oat flour and baking powder (if using) until a batter forms. If the batter feels too thick, add a tablespoon of water or unsweetened chicken broth.
Fill the muffin tin:
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake:
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Cool completely:
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Storage:
Store the muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Freeze them for up to 1 month and thaw before serving.
