As you probably already know, I don't consider myself a great baker. I don't have a lot of baking experience because I really don't like having cakes and cookies lying around the kitchen all the time. I just baked my own bread for the first time without a bread machine and would like to enhance my baking skills. With that comes practice but the hips could really use more practice in a yoga class or on the treadmill.
3 Tbs flax seed
2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Preheat oven to 375 F. In a medium bowl, combine sweet potatoes, pineapple, egg beaters and sugar. Stir until well combined. In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, flax seed, pie spice and salt. Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and fold until dry ingredients are just moistened. Do not over mix. Spray muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon about ¼ cup batter into each cup. If there is not enough batter to fill the tin, put a small amount of water in the empty ones. Bake for 16 to 20 minutes. Makes 14-16 muffins.

Yum! I hear you on the hips ...
I wonder, is the flax seed essential?

Great idea to use up the sweet potatoes I've got!

Veronica says
I'm with you on the baking thing...I don't like having fresh baked goods lying around since I really have no will power!

I've never been a fan of Sweet Potatos but my husband is. These sound good. I will have to make them and see if they can convert me to the all things good sweet potato.

I'll bet you're a better baker than you give yourself credit for, you just have a lot of willpower!
Pam says
I almost bought some sweet potatoes at the store today - now I am wishing I had. They look great Lisa.
The Blonde Duck says
Thanks you for posting this! I love baking but don't like the hips issue. Poor Ben has forbidden me from baking because of his diet problems, so now I can make these guilt free!
Emily says
I love sweet potato anything. These look really great. I like that they're healthy. I hate starting my day out, eating something crappy.
I want to bake Julie's sweet potato cake! Mmm.
Theresa says
I'll have to try these. I'm sorta on a healthy diet. At least trying, I think!

These look delicious - I made a similar recipe from Cooking Light a while back, it was quite good.
Paula says
As soon as I read the ingredients I was in love with these! I really, really, REALLY, like sweet potatoes and pineapple together. Great way to get in some healthy flax seed, too! I'm not a baker either, and even then it's usually from a box, but these look really good to me. YUM!
noble pig says
Very nice! Since I am a potato ho...well these suit me just fine!
Lisa magicsprinkles says
You sure CAN make muffins! These look great and the flax seed is a wonderful addition.

I love sweet potatoes! This would be a great new way to enjoy them. I love that this recipe uses pineapple!
Olivia says
Oh my goodness these look wonderful! Pineapple + pumpkin...yummm
barryS says
yes the flaxseed is necessary - good omega 3's in your diet and fiber and the need to omit oil is great!
barryS says
