2 whole eggs
1/2 cup milk I used whole milk
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt 4% fat (using the higher fat adds more moisture)
3 tbsp real maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
4 pitted Medjool dates
12 oz cooked sweet potatoes ,cooled to room temperature and peeled. I used 2 medium potatoes.
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/4 cup oat bran
1/2 cup unflavored whey isolate protein powder I used Isopure unflavored whey protein
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Add all ingredients, liquid first, into a blender (a heavy duty blender works best)
Blend on low-medium speed until mixture is smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides, until blended and smooth. I used a Vitamix with a tamper to push the ingredients down into the blades.
Spray a muffin tin with a healthy oil spray (I used walnut oil, you can also use a cooking spray for baking)
Pour batter evenly into 12 muffin cups and bake for 20 minutes.
Muffins are done when a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool and enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container lined with a paper towel.

After muffins have cooled, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
