I love a good muffin for breakfast. Today’s recipe is a tasty, healthy muffin made with a baked sweet potato, whole oats, and whole wheat flour. Add a little honey and a mix of spices for a delightful taste. If you have a left over baked sweet potato, this is a great way to use your leftover and make an easy breakfast or snack. I like the topping which adds a little crunch of flavor.

Two of my favorite foods – sweet potatoes and muffins. Thank you so much for this recipe. I am bookmarking. I love that it is sweetened by honey, rather than sugar.
That beautiful sugary oatmeal topping you created really draws me in… these look so totally scrumptious!
