Lunchbox friendly savoury Sweet Potato Egg Muffins

Diving back into school this week and I have some ripper recipes for lunchboxes for you kicking off with this one – SAVOURY SWEET POTATO EGG MUFFINS. Kids love these (actually big kids do too…) because they’re easy to pick up and eat, pack like a gem in a lunchbox, taste delicious and for some reason (*wink wink) their tummies aren’t hungry again within the hour…Must be all the juicy hidden veggies including MACRO SWEET POTATO POWDER – only available at Woolworths!

The powder is such an awesome and convenient way to sneak more nutrition into kids meals and snacks – works really well in both sweet or savoury. I’ve also popped some MACRO NUTRITIONAL YEAST into this recipe which are a great option for those who are dairy free. Nutritional yeast has B vitamins for energy (as part of a healthy diet) and contains vitamin B12 too! Seriously delicious, wholesome and nourishing on all levels!
