If you’re looking for a morning muffin recipe that is oil-free, low in sugar and filled with nutrition, these roasted sweet potato muffins are the perfect treat! They’re vegan, easy to whip up with everyday ingredients and have a sweet and satisfying taste that kids and grown-ups alike love!
The recipe video uses coconut milk and coconut sugar while my updated recipe I’ve swapped for almond milk and regular sugar. Use whichever you prefer!
Table of Contents
Because of the natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes, you’ll use way less sugar than most muffin recipes. And the outcome is a moist and delicious muffin you can enjoy for breakfast, snack or even dessert. I add these healthy sweet potato muffins to my kids lunchboxes, and they are perfect for school.
Ingredients for roasted sweet potato muffins
- Roasted sweet potatoes. For the best results, I highly suggest using roasted sweet potatoes instead of another method of cooking them. This ensures that extra moisture is baked off before mashing.
- Dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Wet ingredients: almond milk and vanilla extract.
How to make sweet potato muffins
The first step to making sweet potato muffins is to cook the sweet potatoes. While this is a great recipe to use leftover sweet potatoes, roasting them in the oven gives a smoky sweet flavor that truly makes the recipe delicious. Roast at 425°F for 45-50 minutes. About 2 medium sweet potatoes should get you about 2 and half cups of sweet potatoes. Allow them to cool completely before making the batter.
Prepare the batter
- Add the flesh of the sweet potatoes to the bowl with the milk and vanilla. You can also add this mixture to a blender to quickly combine them.
- Mix until it’s well combined. You can do this with a whisk or handheld mixer.
- Mix the dry ingredients and add them on top of the sweet potato mixture.
- Mix until well combined. It’s ok if it’s a little clumpy, but make sure there are no more streaks of flour left.
Bake muffins
- Scoop the batter into a muffin pan.
- Bake until the muffins are cooked through a toothpick comes out clean.
I don’t bake much, so I tend to celebrate the results dramatically when I do. Hey, you should too! There’s some magic that happens in that oven.
Optional Add-Ins
It’s so fun experimenting with add-ins for healthy muffins. When I first made these I tested them with raisins, chocolate chips, granola and almond butter. I loved the almond butter the most, but the kids loved the chocolate chips…obviously! Here are some fun topping ideas though:
- Chocolate: chips, chunks, nibs…you name it!
- Nuts: walnuts, almond or pecans
- Dried fruit: raisins or cranberries
- Fresh fruit: bananas or blueberries
- Something savory: spinach or corn
Tips for making the best sweet potato muffins
- Roast the sweet potatoes ahead of time. While this is a super quick recipe, roasting the sweet potatoes is the most time consuming part. I roast it at 425°F for 45-50 minutes. Then allow it to cool so it’s easier to handle. This is great to do when you have other food in the oven.
- Don’t overmix the batter. Just mix until you don’t see any more flour streaks. If you overmix the batter, the muffins may bake unevenly or become extra chewy and tough.
- Customize with add-ins. Feel free to fold in chocolate, chopped nuts or fruit after you’ve mixed the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients.
- Use parchment paper muffin cups. This batter tends to be pretty moist so some sticking may occur if you use traditional muffin liners or no muffin liners. I recommend the parchment paper ones for best results.
- Allow muffins to cool before removing from pan. It’s tempting, I know. But when you give it time, the steam that condenses around the muffins actually makes it easier to remove from pan. And then don’t forgot to cool them on the wire rack for a total of 15-20 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Cool the muffins in the pan for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire wrack and cool them completely.
Then you’ll want to place the muffins in an airtight container. But it’s important to add a paper towel under the muffins to absorb any moisture that they release. This helps keep them fresher longer. And you won’t get any soggy muffins on day 2 of enjoying these goodies!

Sweet Potato Muffins
Video
Ingredients
- Non-stick cooking spray as needed
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 ½ cups mashed roasted sweet potatoes
- ¾ cup almond milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-count muffin pan with parchment paper cups, then spray with non-stick cooking spray (for best results).
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potatoes, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients to the sweet potato mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until combined.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each muffin cavity about ¾ full.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow them to cool completely before enjoying.
Notes
- I would not recommend using yams instead of sweet potatoes. They have more starch than sweet potatoes so they won’t lend enough moisture to the recipe as sweet potatoes do.
- Instead of almond milk, you can use any other plant-based milk or regular milk.
- I tested this recipe with a whole wheat white flour, but it will work with any other all purpose flours.
- To make this gluten-free, use an all-purpose gluten-free flour mix. Do not substitute only almond flour or only coconut flour.
- Replace sugar with other types of granulated sugar.

Like others, my batch was mushy in the middle. I kept adding time and after about an hour the middle was finally done! The muffins taste good though! The recipe just needs some tweaking. Thank you .
I am going to be testing this ASAP to figure out what is going on. Thank you for the feedback!
Mine,too, came out mushy on the inside no matter how long I baked them. Obviously, it was too much sweet potato-In retrospect it look like that in the bowl. I used 2.5 cups mashed sweet potatoes. The other comment is right- she means us to measure diced, chopped, or cubed potatoes. The problem is she doesn’t say What size pieces to measure. I feel so dumb because If it’s mashed, then measured,there’s no space between the pieces like if it was cubed so it’s probably twice as much sweet potato. She may want to amend the recipe to say Use 2.5 cups of cubed sweet potato, or diced sweet potato, and say how big the cubing or dicing should be because the amount of space between the different sizes of pieces differs and that makes up a different amount of Mashed sweet potatoes in the end. When I think about it, I’ve never seen the size of pc not indicated. It’s unlike me to make this mistake But it comes from Not having any direction on how to cut sweet potatoes that are being measured. It’s a huge Disappointment actually.. I’m stuck at home needed a treat. My mistake and also the recipe.
Actually, this was measured with mashed sweet potatoes, not cubed potatoes. You can see in the video recipe on the page, that I removed the sweet potato flesh from the skin with a spoon, so it was soft and mashed consistency, and I didn’t show it on screen, but I measured it before adding it to the blender. I think there are variations with the moisture of different sweet potatoes, possibly that are contributing to a mushy end result. I will re-test this recipe, though, since it has been 4 years since I last made this.
Like many others, I followed the recipe and the outside was beautiful but the inside was gummy. Read comments before proceeding! Wanted to love it.
Thank you for the feedback! I need to test this recipe a few extra times to perfect it.
Loved this recipe and that it is healthy. I did add raisins. Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you! That sounds like a great addition!
I’ve made these last week and they’re delicious. Thank you for this beautiful recipe.
That’s incredible! You’re so welcome!!
Hi, these came out wonderfully for me. Fortunately I didn’t have any of the problems with consistency that the other readers had. Mine came out fully baked. Still solid (a little dense even) but soft and delicious.
I made a few substitutions – reduced the sugar by half and only used 2 cups of sweet potato because that’s all I had. The batter was very thick and I only had to bake for 30 minutes. Still turned out nice and sweet. Thank you!
That’s perfect! I’m glad it turned out perfectly with those substitutions too.
Good flavor but they did not turn out. Followed the recipe exactly and they were gummy on the inside no matter how long I cooked them 🙁
I made these, and like other commenters, mine turned out beautiful on the outside & gummy on the inside. 😕 I was so disappointed. I used whole wheat pastry flour and almond milk. However I think it had to do with the sweet potato measurement- 2.5 cups potatoes, cooked & mashed, is different than 2.5 cups cooked & mashed sweet potatoes.
With my leftover batter, I added about 2 tbsp more flour so we’ll see if that helps it to be less gummy.
Yes, it’ll definitely be different! Let me know how the leftover batter cooked.
I think it might be wise to amend your recipe and reduce the amount of sweet potato. Like the other commenters, I followed the recipe and mine came out very gummy. Even with an extra 15 mins in the oven. It was very disappointing to throw a whole batch of muffins in the bin. I wish I’d read the comments first as I’m sure that with less sweet potato, these would have been delicious.
Thank you for your feedback! I’m really sorry to hear that. Is it possible the sweet potatoes you used had a higher water content? I’m going to test the recipe a few more times.
Sorry to say but I have to agree with previous reviews that although tasty the texture was off. Baked for 39 minutes and still couldn’t get a clean toothpick when testing whether the muffins were done so finally pulled them out. Will follow earlier suggestions and serve them as some sort of pudding instead 🙂
Thank you so much for the feedback! I might have to re-test these muffins again to see how we can prevent that from happening for others who make it.
I wish I read the comments before making these – they were rubbery on the outside as like goop in the middle.
Sometimes it takes a little longer to cook, so I recommend baking it until a toothpick inserted inside comes out clean.
Flavor is great but this my second time making them and again they are more of a bread pudding than a muffin. I followed the measurements and baked them 40 minutes. Not putting these in muffin cups again but may try it as a bread pudding in a few months. Taste is amazing!
So glad you enjoyed the taste! It may require a few extra minutes in the oven so they firm up like a muffin and not bread pudding.
What is the measurement of how much mashed sweet potato goes into these? The measurement says 2.5 cups but I’m assuming that is the raw cubed measurement and not the cooked/mashed measurement. I have already mashed sweet potato in the freezer so I want to use that!
It is 2 ½ cups sweet potatoes that have been cooked and mashed.
I love these! They are nutritious and delicious. Instead of almond butter on top, I typically min in chopped pecans. I’ve also added raisins before (but I know not everyone likes raisins….). Anyways, these are great and easily 5 starts. Loved by my carnivorous husband and vegetarian daughter as well ❤️
Yay! Love the sound of those toppings!
What non gluten flour would you recommend using instead of whole wheat flour?
FYI – I used a gluten free baking flour (pre-made) and it worked well. Taste was very good, most likely due to the chocolate chips that I added. Still very moist! Loved this recipe and will be passing it on.
Can you replace the what flour with either coconut or almond flour? I’d love to make these for my son but he can’t have wheat.
I would not substitute the flour for only almond flour or only coconut flour.
I had some leftover sweet potatoes that I did not want to use again for dinner. These were such a great option. I loved the nut butter on top. These are great no-oil vegan muffins. Yum!
Yay! I’m so happy to hear that!
Hi there! Can we substitute sugar with honey and baking powder with baking soda? 🙂
I would recommend replacing coconut sugar with other types of granulated sugar to retain a similar texture. I would also stick to baking powder, as the two work differently in recipes.
Perfect! Thank you for responding! Going to make this today with my son. 🙂
Sweet Potato Muffins- so good! Can’t have nuts so I used cookie butter.. YUM!! It’s almost a muffin/soufflé! So easy too.
I love the sound of that! Thank you!
Was looking forward to these muffins, buy they came out very chewy. They sponged up and when I took them out of the oven they collapsed. Very sweet, will try reducing sugar next time. Any suggestions?
Yes, I do! Make sure you don’t overmix the batter. Just mix until you don’t see any more flour streaks. If you overmix the batter, the muffins may bake unevenly or become extra chewy and tough.
Thank you for this recipe for simple yet delicious muffins. I followed your instructions, substituted almond milk for coconut milk and added raisins, used parchment paper cups. Came out well, though a bit sticky to the cups at the bottom. Grandkids loved it.
Most welcome! I’m glad you were able to all enjoy it.
I try twice and they can out gummy both times It was a waste of time and money Iwill try again thanks way!!!!!
Hmm, did you change anything at all? I’m so sorry to hear this.
The taste is good but we baked them for almost an hour and they are still gummy inside, almost the entire inside. Is the ratio really 2.5 cups sweet potato plus 3/4 cup milk to only 1.5 cups flour? It seemed quite wet before baking even.
We’ll enjoy them anyway as the taste is good. I think like a bread pudding with ice cream.
Aww I’m really sorry to hear that. It’s possible the sweet potatoes you used had a higher water content. I’m going to add a video for the recipe to show the consistency of the muffins for reference. I think that will really help.
Thanks. We ended up serving them with ice cream like a bread pudding. So it worked out.
are they still moist with no oil? no egg?
Yup, because of the sweet potatoes!
Delicious! Pretty much perfect. For 2 1/2 cups you’re probably going to need at least 2 large sweet potatoes, I only had 1, which gave me one cup of mashed, so I used the other 1 1/2 cups from a can of butternut squash purée I happen to have in the pantry. I mixed by hand versus blending. Added chocolate chips and the almond butter swirl, I got 18 muffins and the whole family is devouring them. Other than that I followed pretty exact. Also 3 tsp is 1 tbsp just FYI if that’s easier.
Thanks so much for the great feedback! I love that you used butternut squash puree for the rest of it…great idea! And I switched 3 tsp to 1 tbsp haha since it’s easier!
Can I substitute flour for gluten free? Have you tried it with any gluten free flour?
I haven’t tried it before, but if you do try it, I recommend the flour mixes that are meant for 1:1 substitutions like Bob’s Red Mill
Can I use almond milk instead?
Yup, that works!
Could this recipe be adjusted to use canned sweet potato?
Yup, just use 2.5 cups of it!
Mine’s in the oven- I followed this metric conversion chart https://cookiescupcakesandcardio.com/?page_id=3348
So 180g of flour. I mixed plain and wholewheat spelt as that’s all I had (LOL), added a little extra maple syrup and folded in blueberries. I’m so nervous!!!
Update! It turned out great. I had to bake for 40 minutes in total with tin foil creating a tight seal around the cake for the last 10 minutes to trap the heat in and baking at a slightly higher 200 Deg Celsius for those 10 minutes. I’d added blueberries too and it was amazing!
I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to come back and provide an update!!
I Loved it! It didn’t sound good but boy it was good.
Yay! So glad to hear it. Thank you!!
Please let me know how you liked it!
Made these and absolutely loved them!! Made them with canned coconut milk, as that was all I had, and they were wonderful! I look forward to trying them again with some add-ins!
So glad to hear you enjoyed them. Thanks for sharing!
I had so much hopes for this muffin. Baked it for my 13 months old. The crust turned out crispy which is great but the centre is all gooey. I baked it for an extra 10 minutes but didn’t get any better. I followed the recipe perfectly, not sure where went wrong.
I’m so sorry to hear that. I’m not sure what could have happened. It’s possible the sweet potato had too much moisture. I’m wondering if this might be the case because I don’t know what else it could be…
Hi I want to do this for my 9 month old baby soo I was wondering if I can use sweet potato flour instead and if I can replace the sugar with blended cooked dates or put sugar at all?
I’m not sure how that will work, but I think it’s worth a try!
Taste great, but all muffins stuck to the paper. Very irritated as it totally spoiled the experience and the batch is ruined more or less. I read similar comments from others, yet the recipe still does not instruct to use any particular paper cups.
I am so sorry to hear that and thank you for letting me know. I just added in the instructions to use parchment paper lined muffin cups and also added it under Tips for best results.
Hi! I really liked this recipe but my muffins did not work. They are very chewy and a little gooey in the center while the outside looks fine. I don’t think I overmixed the recipe, and I used dairy milk instead of coconut milk. Any ideas as to what went wrong? Definitely want to make these better the next time!
Do you think it’s possible that you used too much sweet potatoes? Or did you use a different flour?
Horrible, not the consistency of a muffin. I was excited but I wasted my ingredients. Chewy & Gooey sweet potato muffins should be the title.
Hmm, I always get the consistency of a muffin and many others did too. It’s possible you messed something up?
I made these today for April Fool’s Day and stuffed them with bbq pulled pork. I told the kids we were having cupcakes for dinner. They were delicious!!
OMG! That’s hilarious!! So funny! At least they were delicious still! ?
I loved the sweet potato flavor with the pulled pork!! So yummy!
Mine stuck to the papers I ruined my whole batch from this I wish I didn’t follow that instruction as they would’ve tasted amazing with the hard crust ?
Oh I’m so sorry to hear that. I only use parchment paper muffin liners. They never stick. I’ll make that clearer in the post.
I put peanut butter in the center of the muffin (ie, I spoon batter into the liner, then spoon a little PB, then spoon more batter on top) because it’s easier, and I’ve been known to use up leftover butternut squash instead of sweet potatoes to great result. These have become a staple to have on hand for a quick, healthy, satisfying breakfast. Thanks for the recipe!
Oh I love the idea of adding peanut butter in the center of the muffin. Also, it’s good to know it works well with butternut squash! So glad you like the recipe. Thank you!!
I absolutely loved these. They are better than any other type of muffin I have had yet. And naturally healthy and low in calories.
So glad to hear you enjoyed the recipe! Thanks so much for sharing!
I didn’t read the comments before making – so I used lite canned coconut milk. Very gooey and will not cook to anything that resembles a muffin consistency. Flavor is good, but I wish I had known that canned coconut milk was not the right thing to use.
Oh no, I’m so sorry! I made a note of it right in the recipe card so no one else goes through that. Thank you for letting me know though!
Hi, have you substituted check pea flour in your baked goods? I’m trying to get more protein and have tried it recently and it worked well. Maybe a bit chewy (May have over mixed?) but not gooey. I look forward to trying this recipe!
Hi Jody – I have never tried using chickpea flour unfortunately in baked goods so I’m not sure how to help with that. But I hope you like the sweet potato muffins!
Hi Thank you for the lovely receipt!
Just started baking and still getting used to cup measurements. You menioned 11/2 of flour. Can you please tell me what’s the equivalent in gramms?
Thanks
Hi Monica, sure thing! The 1 1/2 cup flour is equivalent to 100 grams.
What is your suggestion on cutting back on the sugar? How much can I cut back by without affecting the results too much? Also, could I use maple syrup or honey instead because I don’t have coconut sugar? How much would the measurements be in that case? Thanks so much!
You can cut the sugar from 1/2 cup to 1/4 cup and it will be fine. You can also use honey or maple syrup but if you do, reduce the milk to 1/2 cup instead of 3/4 cup. Hope that helps!
I live in Denver so not sure if altitude played a role but they were gooey. I did use canned coconut milk so not sure if that’s it too. Can I still eat them gooey? Haha I like them.
Oh yes, it was the milk because it’s a lot more rich with a difference consistency! Also, yes you should totally still eat them! LOL
I roasted the sweet potatoes whole. About how much should they measure after they are mashed?
It should be about 2.5 cups of mashed sweet potatoes.
These were really good! I used regular whole milk and we did a few topped with marshmallows, some with chocolate chips and a few with chopped walnuts. Chocolate topped was our fave.:) The texture reminded me of a lighter version of sweet potato casserole. They did stick to the cupcake papers quite a bit, so I would definitely recommend buttering or spraying with non stick spray first. I think next time I will try baking in a cake pan. Thank you for this simple and yummy recipe!
Hi Lora! So glad that you enjoyed the muffins! I’ve found the parchment paper muffin liners are the best for baked goods. They’re so easy to take off with nothing sticking if you want to look into them next time. Thanks so much for sharing your feedback!!
Can you use peanut butter instead of almond?
Yes you can!
I just made this in the form of a small cake and used maple syrup instead of coconut sugar and my kids love it. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Yay! So glad to hear that you enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing 🙂
My sweet potato mixture was wayyyy too thick for some reason. I ended up using an entire can of coconut milk plus quite a bit extra pea milk. I finally got mostly the right consistency but the ‘muffins’ are super dense ? The flavor is good but they’re gooey. Maybe I’ll try again, I just wanted something a little healthier for my son to grab for breakfast.
Oh no, so sorry to hear that!! Did you change anything in the recipe? Did you use gluten-free flour?
It sounds like one needs to use the kind of coconut milk that comes in a carton. The kind that comes in a can actually has a creamy texture that is much thicker…
Yes, that’s true. I will clarify that in the recipe too. Thank you!
SOO GOOD. follow the advice of not over mixing! I read that after I over mixed and they’re a little chewy. I modified the recipe a little, a little extra vanilla, a little extra cinnamon, just because i wanted more of those flavors. Also used brown sugar instead of coconut sugar and it worked fine.
Thank you so much! Glad to hear that you liked it and that you made it twice! 🙂
So difficult to find the recepei on the page. So difficult to follow. So many pics
Just use the “Jump to Recipe” button at the top of the page.
Mine didn’t come out that well – tasty enough but they are dense and somewhat gelatinous in texture rather than fluffy. I think they rose while baking but then fell in again. Two possible problems – the one is that I wasn’t sure if the 2.5 cups of sweet potato were for mashed or whole? I went with it being mashed and so added an extra half a sweet potato to make up the extra. My batter was a lot drier than the one pictured here. The other thing is that I used Bob Red Mill’s gluten free all purpose flour which is primarily made up of beans. I see now that the back of the packet says to add xanthum gum – which I didn’t do. I’m not sure if anyone has experience with this particular flour and can advise on it?
Hi there, I’m so sorry these didn’t turn out well for you. You were right about it being 2.5 cups of mashed sweet potatoes, and I just updated the post to mention this important note. Regarding the GF all-purpose flour, I don’t have a lot of experience baking with the gluten free flour mixes, but xanthan gum is definitely important from I’ve heard since it acts the way gluten does in giving elasticity. I would love for you to try them again and add the xanthan. I think it will make a difference!
Thanks for such a prompt response! I am fairly new to baking so I’m generally more surprised when things turn out well than when they don’t. And, as I said – they are still pretty tasty. 🙂 I might try these next time with wholewheat flour!
These are the bestest everest healthy muffins I’ve ever tried, yet! My family and friends loved them. It’s so wonderful to find healthy, vegan recipes that turn out incredible!
Yay! I’m so glad to hear that! Thanks so much for sharing your feedback. Means so much to me 🙂
I’ve been trying this recipe several times. I simply like the taste of sweet potatoes in the muffin, but still turned out chewy and gummy inside, sticking to the muffin case. Not sure what have been wrong, since I didn’t change anything from the recipe.
Aww I’m really sorry to hear that. Is it possible the sweet potatoes you used had a higher water content? I added a video for the recipe to show the consistency of the muffins for reference. I think that will really help!
I loved how mine came out! The inside reminded me of a sweet potato pie and the top was slightly crunchy with the decadent smooth taste of the almond butter. I will definitely make these again and add nuts/dried cranberries to the batter for a little extra yumminess!! Thanks for sharing! ?
Hi Joy! Im so glad to hear that you enjoyed the recipe! I love the idea of adding nuts and dried cranberries next time!
So yummy!! I made them with blueberries and they’re super yummy for a snack or as a super quick breakfast.
Yum! Love that you added blueberries! Thanks so much for sharing!
Five Stars!
Husband and kids approved!! So easy and sooo yummy! Thanks for the recipe!
So happy to hear that! Thank you so much 🙂
Can I use almond or oat flour? If yes, how much?
I would not recommend substituting just almond flour or oat flour. But if you find a gluten-free mix that is meant for all-purpose flour substitute, that will work well!
Hi tried this recipe for my little one. just wanted to ask if muffins are soft from inside even after baking them for over an hour, could it be just because of consistency of sweet potato?? i don’t think there’s anyway that flour needs more baking?? wanted to make sure for my birthday 15 month old. TIA
They should be soft, but it should be cooked all the way through!
Perfect for my little one! Thank you
Yay! So happy to hear that!! 🙂
These have already been in the oven 1.5 hours and still raw inside and tough outside. I don’t know how much longer I can wait and they may have to be tossed if they dont firm up soon. They have great flavor, but totally raw!
Oh no, that doesn’t make sense. Did you change something in the recipe? They shouldn’t need more than 30 minutes.
Same thing happened to my muffins as well. 🙁 Not sure what could’ve gone wrong. The only change I can think of is that I used whole wheat flour instead of whole wheat white flour.
Hmmm…I’m so sorry to hear that. I don’t think the flour could have affected it that much though.
The same thing happened to mine. Uncooked on the inside, burnt and fallen on the outside. I also used whole wheat flour (not whole wheat white), but that is what the recipe says to use. Finally had to take them out and give up after about an hour in the oven. Clearly something to do with the recipe (not sure how there are so many positive reviews)
I’m so sorry that was your experience with this recipe. It’s possible the batter was overmixed because, when the batter is overmixed, the muffins may bake unevenly.
Delicious. Made a batch following your recipe. Can’t have one & stop. Thanks for another great healthy recipe.
Loved it
Thanks so much!
