Try these muffins: A healthy & filling breakfast you can batch

Last Updated February 5, 2018
Vegan Vitamix sweet potato muffins featured by Life is NOYOKE.

These sweet potato muffins are an easy fix to a few questions.

  • What should I have for breakfast?
  • How can I stay full for a long time?
  • What’s a healthy alternative to breakfast pastries?

Well these muffins are what you should have, and if you make a big batch, you can have them all week! They are hearty and will keep you full for hours. Plus, the ingredients are healthy and nutritious.

So what’s stopping ya? Make yourself a week’s worth of healthy-filling-nutritious sweet potato muffins today!

A healthy alternative to the bakery case

I get it, you’re in a hurry.

You didn’t even have time to make a pot of coffee this morning.

You stop to get your caffeine fix and you realize you also neglected to grab something for breakfast.

Something in the bakery case will do, right?

I’ve had this battle in my head a hundred times:

  1. “Okay, which pastry has the least amount of frosting?”
  2. “Hmm, this one says fat-free”
  3. “Would a scone or a muffin be better for me?”
  4. “Screw it, can I please have this glazed donut… it’s a cheat day.”

Granted, I work from home now. But nothing makes me feel more prepared than meal-planning and batching my recipes. There is no better way to stick with your healthy-eating goals.

So I’m always thinking of ideas for quick grab-and-go breakfasts and snacks.

These sweet potato muffins are absolutely perfect for both.

I threw a few very healthy ingredients into the Vitamix Explorian E310 (review) we’ve been playing with and poured directly into my muffin pan.

These muffins are packed full of nutritious ingredients that are hearty and flavorful. One will tide you over a couple of hours, two will absolutely get you to lunch.

I also threw a couple in my gym bag the other day and had an awesome (and dense) post-workout snack.

You’ll love these for a lot of reasons, they are:

  • Easy
  • Flavorful
  • Guiltless
  • Dense
  • Packable

And I’m gonna say it despite despising the word: These muffins are moist!

Bonus: they don’t sound that appetizing, so you don’t have to share.

Make yourself a batch this weekend. You’ll high-five yourself every morning this week for starting off on the right foot!

    Do you know if I Could I make this in a square pan instead? I know it’s a long shot but do you know how long it would take to bake in a square pan? They look so good but I hate muffin-making; too fussy. 🙂

      Haven’t tried it but would suggest starting at 25 min and then checking the middle every 5 minutes or so. Happy baking!

    Can you use a can of organic sweet potatoes?

      Don’t see why not. I have never seen them canned before, I’ll keep my eyes out. Should work fine as they get mashed up like I’m assuming the canned ones are.

    This recipe “sounds” great. Any suggestions for preparing it without oil?

      The 1 Tbsp of coconut oil is an optional topping. Skip it and these are still just as delish!

      Roast sweet potatoes at 425F for 30-40 min. Flax eggs are just 1 TBSP flax meal and 3 TBSP water. So for 3 flax eggs you want 3 TBSP of flax and 9 TBSP of water. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes and it gets “goopy” like an egg!

    Yumm!! Can’t wait to make these!
    If I don’t have any apples, but do I have unsweetened applesauce… will that work since it’s all getting blended anyway? Do you think I should adjust the measurement to more like 1/4 or 1/3 cup or something? Just curious. I could totally go get some apples, but I would love it if I didn’t have to, lol! 😉

      Hi Courtney,

      You actually don’t blend the apples, they are for texture (I found the muffins themselves to be a little mushy w/o them). You could certainly sub in something else with texture like nuts and the raisins help too 🙂

      November 17, 2017 @ 5:27 pm

      Lol, of course!??‍♀️ Obviously I didn’t read past the list of ingredients & see that the apples get stirred in. ? Thank you so much! Congrats on the new baby, by the way! ? How exciting for you & Lenny. Thanks again & wishing you all the best!

      November 17, 2017 @ 11:24 pm

      I wouldn’t have read past the ingredients either:) Baby’s due date is today, no show. We’ll be excited when it makes its appearance!
