Sweet potato purée and banana bind the ingredients of these vegan muffins together (so you can skip the eggs), while adding a natural sweetness to the batter. Studded with juicy dates and rolled oats, these muffins are perfect as a snack when you’re on the go or as a light breakfast. Add the optional orange zest and pecans for even more flavor and texture.
