Here's the recipe with my changes (even though the original is great!): Yammy Muffins: 1 large yam (or sweet potato) The picture of the muffin above has a yellow colored yam 1/2 cup of warmed coconut oil 1/2 cup almond milk

It doesn't come pre-made in a bag, it doesn't cost an absolute fortune for a couple of ounces, it's good for you, it's gluten-free, it's nutritious & most of all....YUMMY! I started making granola about nine years ago. This recipe has never failed me. It's very flexible, meaning you can add more or less of some ingredients and still have a great product.
