Whole Wheat Sweet Potato Muffins

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.
