Ingredients
  

  • 1 sweet potato cooked
  • 4 Laughing Cow cinnamon cream cheese wedges
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup white flour
  • 1/2 cup + 1 TBSP of brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 1/2 TSP cinnamon
  • 1/2 TSP salt
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 TSP baking powder
  • 1 TSP baking soda
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Line a muffin tin with 12 muffin cups.
  • Remove the sweet potato's skin and mash the flesh. Put into a medium bowl.
  • Mash the cream cheese wedges and add to the bowl. Pour the maple syrup and almond milk into the mix, and stir to combine well.
  • In a separate large bowl, combine the flours, 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, 1 TSP of cinnamon, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture, and mix well.
  • In a small bowl, combine the chopped walnuts with the remaining cinnamon (1/2 TSP) and sugar (1 TBSP), then set aside.
  • Pour the batter evenly into muffin tins.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and spoon the walnut mixture onto the tops of each muffin. Bake for about another 15 minutes, or until a toothpick can be stuck in a muffin and comes out clean.
  • Cool the muffins on a wire rack, then enjoy!
