Healthy Sweet Potato and Haloumi Muffins Recipe

Sweet Potato and Haloumi Muffins Recipe

Full of fibre, protein and sustaining energy, these muffins are a portable powerhouse of nutrition. They are also quite versatile: swap the sweet potato with pumpkin and the haloumi with another cheese of choice. I have also made a miso-pumpkin version, stirring a tablespoon of miso paste into the mix and adding semi-dried tomatoes and parmesan in place of haloumi. These muffins will keep for three days in the fridge and I recommend warming them in the oven before eating for ultimate enjoyment.
