Paleo Hasselback Sweet Potatoes

As someone who doesn’t eat gluten, sweet potatoes are one of my favorite carbohydrate sources. They are great after a hard workout when you need to replenish glycogen stores and nutritionally, are among the best sources of vitamin A along with riboflavin, thiamin, and carotenoids due to their naturally orange color.

Sweet Potato Waffles

At first, sweet potato toast was my obsession… now it’s sweet potato in waffle form! When I visited friends and family in Atlanta last month I ate at many burger joints. When ordering a burger, I would have to order it naked (no bun). After the second burger joint, ordering a burger with no bun got boring real fast and I ended up loading on fries because I was so hungry. 

But then I thought, why not combine fries into a bun that can be healthy, gluten-free, and fun?! And here we are ladies and gents… sweet potato waffles!

To be honest, I feel weird adding this recipe to the blog because it is just too easy to make. Made with only two ingredients, you literally can’t go wrong.

Chai Spiced Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Muffins

That’s why, regardless of the weather, I wanted to create a super cozy and comforting sweet potato muffin made with chocolate chips (because why not!?) and chai spice!

If you can’t tell from my Instagram, I use this chai spice seasoning on almost everything. Before diving into this muffin recipe, you should totally whip up this amazing chai spice seasoning if you haven’t done so already, then we can get to cooking!
