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 tsp 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!
Lisa, these look really good. I've bookmarked the recipe and will make these the next time I prepare a ham. Thanks...Mary
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 love me some muffins, these look great ๐ too bad i didn't see this before i tried to use up my mushy butternut!
Muffins that are healthy!! Love it. Love the combo of pineapple and sweet potato. Bet my kids will love them also!!
I love that pineapple is in here. Good thinking!
And I hate to have sweets sitting around too.
mmm these sound great! Pineapple really adds a special something to a lot of cake/cupcake/muffin batters! Enjoy them
Lisa, this is exactly the type of muffin I have been thinking about-healthy and perfect to have ready on a Monday monring. I will be posting about this one-thanks.
I love baking! I will have to try these muffins, they look tasty!
I swear, one day you are going to tempt and guilt me into eating healthy. You keep making healthy look good and I want butter! Damn you!
Thanks about the award, I finally figured out how to transfer it to my blog. I tried when you gave me one and embarrassingly technology won.
Wow, these do sound quite tasty yet healthy! Love the addition of pineapple as well.
I have been into muffins lately. I have been looking at a ton of recipes. These look really good.
I like the twist of pineapple and sweet potato.
I love these, maybe i could sneek them past my hubby if i didn't tell him there was sweet potatoes in them!
Lisa, I can totally relate on the baking. Muffins are about all I can do easily, ๐
And these muffins look great! I love the color of them...and love pineapple and sweet potato. I'm bookmarking this one.
I love using sweet potatoes in baking
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.

They look good....I can picture eating them with warm butter...
Ooh, love the addition of pineapple! These look great!
I'll bet you're a better baker than you give yourself credit for, you just have a lot of willpower!
I almost bought some sweet potatoes at the store today - now I am wishing I had. They look great Lisa.
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!
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.
I'll have to try these. I'm sorta on a healthy diet. At least trying, I think!
Yum, looks so good. I bet these would taste great for b-fast!
Delicious!
These look delicious - I made a similar recipe from Cooking Light a while back, it was quite good.
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!
Very nice! Since I am a potato ho...well these suit me just fine!
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!
Oh my goodness these look wonderful! Pineapple + pumpkin...yummm
yes the flaxseed is necessary - good omega 3's in your diet and fiber and the need to omit oil is great!
so this i only 81 calories each and only 1 carbohydrate serving! Perfect for after workout snack
Thank You! This is the recipe I've been searching for!!!
Wow; these are awesome! Thanks so much for sharing; my husband says it's the best muffin recipe I've made so far! I love that your site has such great-tasting, yet healthy recipes! ๐
