Easy peanut butter muffins

Muffins are kind of my love language and totally a breakfast staple in the TNN house. I’m not totally sure when I fell head-over-heels for all things baked in a muffin tin, but I DO know that I love that muffins are quick to bake, perfectly portioned out and can be amazing vessels for all kinds of healthy goodness….especially veggies.

If you are new around these parts, I am kind of obsessed with veggie-loading things….especially muffins! Recipes like theses peanut butter muffins are a great way to get veggies in at breakfast and kids (and adults) are usually pretty jazzed to see them served up in morning! Plus, they are portable! And delicious and veggie-loaded on the go? Yes please!

Why I think you should put sweet potatoes in your peanut butter muffins…

Someone once asked me why I like to veggie-load recipes and the food my family eats. To that I say….”Why wouldn’t I?” I mean, if I am going to eat something, I want it to serve my body as much as possible. Food is our fuel, after all! And veggies are an amazing way to load you body up with vitamins, minerals and nutrients in the most natural vessel there is!

Take sweet potatoes for example. They not only help to naturally sweeten these peanut butter muffins, but they contain a good amount of fiber along with a healthy dose of iron, calcium, and selenium. Sweet potatoes are also a good source of most of our B vitamins and vitamin C. In addition, let us not forget that lovely antioxidant known as beta-carotene!

Veggie-loaded hack

You know what I like to keep on hand to make veggie-loading food extra easy? No matter how tired, unprepared or low on produce I might be? Canned pureed veggies! You can find pureed pumpkin, sweet potatoes and/or butternut squash in most grocery stores (here in the US, at least) where they keep canned veggies or beans! In fact, look for purees that are JUST the veggies without any added sweetener or spice. And I always suggest buying organic if possible in a can that is BPA-free.

Suggested adaptations

  1. Make them Paleo! Sub the peanut butter with almond butter and a delicious and easy Paleo muffin is yours!
  2. Peanut butter muffins without sweet potatoes? Sub the sweet potato with pumpkin or butternut squash! Still veggie-loaded. Still delicious!
