Sweet Potato, Coconut and Chia Seed Protein Bites
1/2 cup baked and pureed sweet potato
1/2 cup liquid egg whites
1/4 cup light coconut milk
1 scoop whey protein, I use vanilla
4 tbsp coconut flour
1/4 cup oats
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
Directions
1- Preheat oven to 150'C
2- Blend wet ingredients in one bowl and combine dry ingredients (except chia seeds) in another.
3- Blend wet and dry ingredients, lastly adding and blending in the chia seeds. Let the mixture sit for 15+ minutes before pour into a sprayed mini cupcake pan.
4- Bake for approx. 30 minutes.
Now these don't bake to the texture of regular muffins, they maintain a dense, almost mushy texture due to the sweet potato. However, this does not detract from their awesomeness.
