Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 medium-large Japanese purple sweet potato
- 1 large zucchini, grated using a box grater
- 2 tablespoons coconut vinegar or rice vinegar
- 3 large pasture-raised eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup tahini
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup blanched fine almond flour (not meal)
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- ½ tablespoon fresh or dry thyme leaves
- ½ tablespoon fresh or dry rosemary leaves, chopped
- ½ tablespoon fresh or dry sage leaves, chopped
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Step 2
Punch holes in the sweet potato and place on top of a baking sheet. Once the oven is preheated, transfer sweet potato to the oven and bake for 1 hour until soft. Once ready, remove from the oven and cut lengthwise to cool. Scrape the inside of the sweet potato. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
Step 3
Grate the zucchini using a box grater and transfer into a large mixing bowl.
Step 4
Add the sweet potato, eggs, and tahini, mixing well, until the sweet potato is no longer lumpy.
Step 5
Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients bowl and mix well.
Step 6
Line a muffin tin with parchment or silicone liners, or use a sturdy silicone muffin form. Divide the batter evenly amongst 12 muffin slots using a large spoon or an ice cream scoop.
Step 7
Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature.

Over the darker winter months, we’ve likely been exposed to too much artificial light—much longer than our bodies would have liked. This artificial light can cause ill effects like headaches, tiredness, and eye strain. It can feel hard to avoid, but that doesn’t mean we have to stand by and suffer the negative consequences. I’ve mentioned before how much I love BON CHARGE and their lab-grade blue light glasses collection, so I was excited to learn they also make
Light Sensitivity Glasses, which have helped reduce the amount of artificial light exposure my eyes encounter over the colder months.
