GINGER PECAN SWEET POTATO MUFFINS (VEGAN + GLUTEN-FREE)

Meet your new breakfast meal prep all-star. This recipe makes plenty for the weekend and will last you all week.

Remember the zingy and warm taste of fresh ginger bread cookies at Christmas time. The cardamon and ginger give these vegan gluten free muffins that same taste.

Powdered ginger will work but if you can use fresh ginger you'll be happy for the kick of favor. You can pick ginger up at your local grocery store in the produce section. The roots keeps for several weeks when refrigerated in a plastic bag. Ginger is good for digestion, reducing nausea and inflammation. Fun trivia fact it belongs to the same plant family as turmeric and cardamon.

You'll also be able to find the crystallized ginger down the candy aisle of stores like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods.

It can be hard finding vegan and gluten free muffins and when you do the cost for four can be steep. We know your'll enjoy adding this to your breakfast rotation.
