- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 (15.0-ounce) can sweet potato purée (1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons)
- 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup chopped cooked bacon (from 3 to 5 slices depending on thickness)

Method
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking powder, salt, pepper and cayenne.
In a large bowl, whisk together sweet potato purée, buttermilk and eggs.
Stir flour mixture into sweet potato mixture with bacon and green onion just until combined.

Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of each muffin comes out with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it, about 30 minutes. Serve warm.
