Southern-inspired Sweet Potato & Corn Muffins

A great snack, breakfast or side dish made of sweet potatoes, bacon and corn. It’s a healthy version of muffins, delicious, and will definitely fit into your diet plan.

Just in time for the holidays! Here’s a delicious, Southern-inspired comfort food treat for your family get-together or your weekly meal prep. Keep in mind that some of the ingredients below are optional – that’s just me trying to add a little something “extra” for the holiday. With that in mind, make this recipe your own but definitely try to keep it on the “lighter” side!

You’ll need a medium-sized potato. First, peel the potato and chop it into pieces. Then boil the potato. When it’s cooked, place it in a glass bowl and mash it with a fork.

Cook the bacon and add it to a potato mixture. Mash them together with other ingredients, baking powder, soda and coconut sugar. In another bowl, beat the egg, add a cup of almond milk and coconut oil.

Pour the wet ingredients into the potato mixture, add some reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese and gently mash together.

Spray muffin mold with coconut oil, evenly add the mixture and bake for fifteen minutes at 400F.

Boom. Cornbread muffin is ready! Eat while hot for breakfast, or cold even the next day. Eat them as a side dish with any source of protein such as chicken, pork, turkey, or with a fresh chicken salad. Also, if you are craving between meals, you can satisfy your hunger with one corn muffin.
