2011 Sweet n' Healthy Blogger Recipe Contest

I am very excited about the return of the Annual Blogger Recipe Contest. All of the rules and requirements are posted here.  Just remember to keep it original and be creative!  Luckily, sweet potatoes are one of the most versatile ingredients around, so let your imagination run wild.

In my last post, I shared a great vegetarian recipe. So this time, I am sharing a sweet treat from another contest category.  These muffins are so delicious, you will never guess that they are sugar free and gluten free!  Combine that with our sassy super-food, sweet potatoes, and you have a nutritional powerhouse.  These muffins are packed with fiber, potassium, and vitamin A, and have a very low glycemic index, making them one of the healthiest treats you can eat.  Most importantly, they are absolutely delish!  In fact, these muffins are so tasty that your family will guess that they're eating health-food!

Now that you are feeling inspired by all that sweet potatoes can do, get blogging and share your favorite recipe.  It might just be worth $2000!
