When I kicked my after dinner brownie habit to the curb I began waking up to an aching sweet tooth. Shortly after the sweet potato soon became my breakfast bff. Plus, sweet potatoes offer a laundry list of health benefits.

I have taken my favorite brownie adjectives: fudgey, dark, rich, bitter, sweet, salty, spicy and mysterious as my kitchen inspiration to create a healthier, easier to digest, almost good for you dessert.

My new spin on shortcake will still take us to the south (of France) for a gluten and guilt-free foundation followed by strawberries, fresh basil, and whipped coconut cream that will make you say “bon appétit y’all!”

I like to consider myself an early meal prep adopter thanks to my commitment to sleeping in. Packed with protein, veggies, and yummy fall flavors, these easy to make muffins have everything you and your family need to get up and go.
