Sweet Potato Muffins

Sweet Potato Muffins that are diabetic friendly!

Sweet-Potato-Muffins

I honestly think one of the toughest things about being a Type 2 diabetic is finding recipes that are actually edible when you want something sweet. I love Splenda and have been experimenting with Truvia and Stevia, it is just difficult to find the balance in a recipe.

I had been craving something sweet this week and these sweet potato muffins fit the bill. I found the recipe at Diabetic Living. I had to make some adjustments to the recipe as the batter was too thick so I compromised by adding buttermilk and orange juice. These muffins are good, best eaten or frozen the day you make them. They raise beautifully in the oven and will fall a little as they cool.
