Black Bean and Egg Sweet Potato Hash Cups

This is a great "on the go" breakfast muffin, packed with protein and vitamins!  I really liked these however, I can not get my little guy to take a bite.  He literally eats EVERYTHING and he loves all three of these ingredients separately.  I will definitely be making these at the beginning of the week for snacks.

Ingredients:

• 1 small sweet potato, peeled and grated
• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 eggs
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees and mix all ingredients thoroughly in a medium bowl.  Add mixture about 3/4 of the way full into a lightly greased muffin pan and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Cayenne and Cinnamon Roasted Sweet Potatoes

So I had a sweet potato lying around the other day and I decided to roast it up!  My friend Stef always roasts hers with cinnamon and they smell and taste delicious.  I love a little kick so I added cayenne and they were fantastic.

Ingredients:

• 1 large sweet potato, cubed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 pinch cayenne (add more if you like)

Directions:  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  In a large Ziploc bag add potatoes, oil, cinnamon and cayenne pepper.  Shake until evenly coated and spread onto lightly greased roasting pan or cookie sheet.  Roast for about 25-35 minutes or until golden brown!

Sweet Potato Fluff

 Before

After

So when I started this recipe I was intending to make twice baked sweet potatoes and I failed.  The skins totally fell apart so I just added the filling into my corningware and went with it.  My husband is not a fan of sweet potatoes unless they are loaded with sugar so I added a little goodness on top!  I thought they looked like little pumpkins before baking so I left it alone.  After being baked it looked ridiculous but tasted scrumptious.  HUSBAND APPROVED 

 

Ingredients:

• 1 sweet potato
• 1/4 cup applesauce ( I totally used 1 jar of apple baby food )
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Topping Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon softened butter
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:  Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake sweet potato for one hour or until soft. Remove skin from potato when cool enough to touch. In mixing bowl add applesauce, butter, egg, vanilla, and sweet potato.  Mix until smooth and pour into greased baking dish. In separate bowl add all topping ingredients and mix with a fork until crumbly or roll in a ball like above.  If you make a crumble just sprinkle over the top of potatoes.  Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
