Ingredients
  

1 medium sweet potato (approximately 1 cup when shredded)

4 large eggs

1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional for added flavor)

1/4 cup milk (can be dairy or any plant-based alternative)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Olive oil spray for greasing the muffin tin

Fresh herbs for garnish (optional, such as chives or parsley)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it's heating, prepare your muffin tin by greasing it with olive oil spray or lining it with paper liners for easy release.

    Prepare the Sweet Potato: Carefully peel the sweet potato, then shred it using either a box grater or a food processor until you have about 1 cup of shredded sweet potato.

      Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded sweet potato with the chopped spinach. If you're using feta cheese, add it in along with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined.

        Whisk the Eggs: In a separate medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk. Use a whisk to beat the mixture until it’s well combined and a bit frothy.

          Combine Ingredients: Gradually pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the sweet potato and spinach blend. Stir all the ingredients together until everything is fully combined, making sure there are no dry patches.

            Fill Muffin Tin: Using a spoon, carefully transfer the mixture into the prepared muffin tin. Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 of the way to give them room to rise.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The muffins are done when they are set in the center and slightly golden on top. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of one muffin; it should come out clean.

                Cool and Serve: After baking, let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Gently remove them and transfer to a cooling rack. For an elegant touch, garnish the muffins with fresh herbs before serving.

                  Enjoy: Serve your Sweet Potato Spinach Egg Muffins warm, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. These muffins are perfect as a breakfast option, a healthy snack, or a nutritious post-workout meal!
