Traditional muffins often have a ton of added sugar and are full of unhealthy fat sources. Instead, opt for a homemade muffin that’s filled with complex carbs and nutrition. Luckily, Paleo-friendly sweet potatoes fill the bill perfectly.

For this recipe, we used PureWOD Recover Sweet Potato Powder as our base. When you’re on the go, their Recover Powder is a lifesaver after a grueling workout. Each scoop equals one whole sweet potato and contains only three ingredients: organic sweet potato, vanilla and Paleo-approved stevia. Since they slow-cook and freeze-dry the sweet potatoes, you get all the phytonutrients, fiber, vitamins and minerals. A few scoops of this powder and you have the key to the optimal post-workout muffin.

Sweet potato powder, much like coconut flour, can absorb a lot of the liquid in recipes, resulting in a dry product if you don’t compensate for that absorption by adding extra moisture. The batter for these turmeric muffins includes ripe bananas, coconut oil, and cinnamon for added flavor and to keep the muffins moist. Be sure to mash the bananas until very smooth so that they blend throughout the batter without any big chunks. Eggs add protein to boost your post-workout recovery.

Bake for 45-50 minutes, checking with a toothpick in the center to ensure they are cooked all the way through. If not, let them cook an additional 10 minutes. Enjoy these turmeric muffins with a pat of grass-fed butter or a drizzle of coconut oil, kick back and relax. You’ve earned it.
