Simple Sweet Potato Muffins
I think sweet potato was meant to heal the cracks in my soul. Well, that and peanut butter (let’s be real, PB is the OG for most people).
We may not think of sweet potato as a good alternative to butter/flour in a muffin recipe but it totally works. These muffins are slightly sweet, with a moist, perfectly-dense texture that will make it hard to eat just 1 in a sitting (seriously- hide them from yourself- meal plan-ers get to eat 2 at once! ).
With the option to use a gluten-free oat flour, these muffins are sugar-free, gluten-free, soy-free, guilt-free, and seriously GOOD. My only piece of advice? TRY THEM NOW.
And with only 99 calories per muffin, what’s not to love about these quick, tasty, sugar-free treats? 1.7F/14C/6.3P – all you need is a blender or magic bullet (well… and an oven)!
(To cook the sweet potato beforehand, I always just pop them in the microwave for a few minutes, until soft, and peel them after they’ve been cooked.)
For those on a meal plan with EVLV fit, two (yeah, 2!!!) muffins is only 1 serving of “any” carbs + 1 serving of lean proteins for your day!

Black Bean Chocolate Cake
Okay, so I’m not a big fan of chocolate 🍫.
I know, I know, who am I?
But seriously, if I could choose vanilla every day I TOTALLY would. While I don’t necessarily LOVE chocolate, I AM a big fan of experimenting with “healthy” foods and food alternatives.
Therefore, I’ve experimented with HEALTHY Black bean chocolate cake 🍰. It’s my latest experiment, and it turned out pretty dang good if you ask me- and I don’t even love chocolate!
This cake is moist, chocolatey, and absolutely delicious; Without all the guilt of eating a giant piece of regular chocolate cake! Packed with fiber and good-for-you micronutrients, you wont even notice it has no flour and you made it with beans.
When people hear “black beans”, they usually shy away from using them in baking. I mean, I agree that’s probably not what they were meant for. But as a healthy, high-fibre alternative to using just flour and butter, this cake adds in a little health to the line up of treats and lower-cal desserts. Plus, higher fiber in our diets is extremely important to our overall health, just see my post here.
If you choose to use gluten-free oats for your oat flour, coconut oil, and Enjoy Life chocolate chips, this recipe will be Wheat/Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Soy-free, guilt-free, and 100% delicious. If you choose to use dairy or non-GF oats, it’s still soy-free, guilt-free, and delicious, don’t worry.
It’s way easier than it seems to bake with black beans (and not be able to taste them in your cake, duh). The most important thing is to have a good food processor or blender. So without further ado (honestly I never read those long blogs before a recipe anyway), here is my version of black bean chocolate cake for YOU:
