Eating Well With a Stoma
Leanne Chan was inspired to add this healthy sweet potato muffin to her meal plan to help people eat well while living with a stoma. Eating well with a stoma is a whole new world. When you have a stoma, you must follow a strict diet and are always worried about what to eat.
To help people living with a stoma, Leanne created a seven-day meal plan book. Her book,‘Health the way Nature Intended‘ will help people through the process of shopping, meal planning, and cooking fantastic stoma-safe, delicious meals. Kudolife is also releasing Leanne’s full meal plan on the Kudolife App, along with recipe videos and tips.
Leanne’s full healthy meal plan will be released in January 2017 on the Kudolife App. But throughout fall we will be releasing her recipes individually.
Cooking With Sweet Potatoes
Muffins and sweet potatoes are just meant to be together; there’s no getting around it. In this recipe, Leanne kept the ingredients list slim, as well as cooking time and equipment required. Cooking these muffins takes no time and creates less mess in the kitchen.
How to Make Sweet Potato Muffins
This sweet potato muffin recipe is as straightforward and simple as they get. You start off by making a lumpy batter out of the steamed sweet potatoes, hemp seeds, coconut oil, almond milk and maple syrup.. Mix these ingredients together. Then you add in the dry ingredients: gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, five-spice powder, and salt. Once you have mixed everything together, dollop your batter into the muffin tins. The muffins bake up to be very tender and moist. With just maple syrup and Chinese five spice flavoring the batter, you can taste the sweet potatoes’ earth flavor.
The sweet potato muffins tasted great after a day and after freezing them for a month. Freezing them are an excellent way to have pre-made breakfast for a morning where you are late for work and need something on the go. Just pop the muffins into the microwave. Then in just a few minuets you’ll have a healthy and tasty snack to take with you to work.
These sweet potato muffins are anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancerous and are pumped full of vitamins and minerals. Your body will feel nourished and your taste buds will be happy.
