P90X Healthy Yam Protein Muffins

I have been having a hard time blogging today and adding my recipes because my little one is really sick. She is sleeping now, so it's time to get some recipes up.

For those of you sticking to the diets from Beachbody and getting tired of eating the same old same old yam.. Ya know? The ones you bake in the oven and after 60 days of doing this you want to, well barf. Well, my husband gagged on his saying "I can't take it anymore" hehe.. So he still needs his carbs and it is convenient and cheap if you are watching your budget.. Here's a spin off the old yam...

Healthy Yam Protein Muffins

mmmmm :0)

Ingredients 

3 cups mashed yams

6 egg whites

2 scoops vanilla whey protein

1 T cinnamon

2 tsp all spice

1 tsp baking soda

pinch of salt 

Directions

1. Pierce 3-4 yams with a knife a few times and place in microwave for 10 minutes.

2. Place yams in mixer and mix until yams are mashed. The skin usually separates at this point and I take out about half the skin. 

3. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. 

4. Place mixture in muffin tins and bake for 20 minutes at 350. 

This made 12 muffins, each with about 70 calories, 10g carbs and 7g protein.
