Sweet Potato Protein Muffins!

Happy Saturday!!
     As you know, I am a HUGE fan of easy, portable, but most importantly nutritious foods!  These delicious sweet potato muffins definitely fit my standards.  They can be easily frozen so that you can just pop one out of the freezer whenever you are ready for it.  This recipe yields 6 regular size muffins.
