Grab and go sweet potato muffins filled with egg, spinach and ham goodness.

 

I was so pleased with my Sweet Potato Breakfast Cups that I decided to create a florentine version! And not only that, I added spinach!!  Just kidding… These little cups are so delicious and are a super-easy grab and go breakfast during hectic weekdays.  I mean, think about it, you’re driving down the road eating spinach AND sweet potatoes for breakfast!!??  How can you not have the best day EVER??
