Cinnamon Sweet Potato and Oatmeal Muffins

I like to try and create recipes with limited sugar, especially as some of what I create goes into the lunch boxes with me kids. I also have had requests due to allergies etc, so I am experimenting more to get some gluten free, dairy free, egg free etc recipes up on the blog for you. I will be adding these into my online index to make them easier for you to find.

I hope this recipe won’t disappoint you. These muffins are moist and  delicious. My kids had one each with some fruit as soon as they got in from school and my son (the usual fussy one), said “mum, these are yummy” as soon as he bit into his. I don’t know about anyone else’s children, but no matter how big a lunch I pack them, they always come home like they have never been fed lol. I expect it is all that learning and absorption of information, it makes them hungry.

    Are they supposed to be a gooey texture in the middle?

      Hi there, no they shouldn’t be gooey. I would guess you took them out of oven a little too early. A skewer entered into the centre should come out clear when they are done. Hope that helps
