Egg, Gluten and Dairy Free Sweet Potato Mini Muffins - Kid Approved


Sorry if you come here for the low carb recipes. Or the Candida diet recipes. This isn't one of them.

This one is for my daughter. My gluten, dairy, egg sensitive daughter that isn't allowed to take nuts to school.

I sometimes worry that over the years her friends aren't going to want to come to our house for play dates. They might think our food is a little weird. We think it tastes good but our taste buds have become accustomed to less sugar, salt, chemicals, etc.

So I was SO VERY EXCITED to hear that my daughter's friend decided that if she were to run away from home it would be to our house. YEP. She packed her bag and everything. And when her Mom asked her where she would go her reply was "Talia's - because I like her Mom's cooking". Woo hoo!

So maybe we eat a little differently but IT IS STILL GOOD. Even to other people.  Even to kids.

And this recipe is jammed packed with power foods. Super foods. And is super delicious. Even my daughter's friends think so.......
