Instead of cupcakes, Wellness Mama has a beautiful Meatloaf..YES Meatloaf to fill your bellies with love and good nutrition!
Ingredients
-
1.5-2 pounds of ground beef (grass-fed if possible)
-
3 eggs
-
¼ cup almond flour (or enough to thicken- this will depend partially on the fat content of the meat and the texture of the almond flour)
-
1 teaspoon dried basil
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 medium onion
-
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
5-6 sweet potatoes
-
¼ cup butter or coconut oil
-
1 teaspoon sea salt or Himilayan Salt
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
-
Finely dice the onion or puree in a blender or food processor.
-
In a large bowl, combine the meat, eggs, flour, basil, garlic powder, pureed onion, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper and mix by hand until incorporated.
-
Grease a muffin tin with coconut oil or butter and evenly divide the mixture into the muffin tins to make 2-3 meat “muffins” per person. If you don’t have a muffin tin, you can just press the mixture into the bottom of an 8×8 or 9×13 baking dish.
-
Put into oven on middle rack, and put a baking sheet with a rim under it, in case the oil from the meat happens to spill over (should only happen with fattier meats if at all)
-
For sweet potatoes: if they are small enough, you can put them into the oven at the same time, if not you can peel, cube and boil them until soft.
-
When meat is almost done, make sure sweet potatoes are cooked by whichever method you prefer, and drain the water if you boiled them.
-
Mix with butter and salt or pepper if desired and mash by hand or with an immersion blender.
-
Remove meat “muffins” from the oven when they are cooked through and remove from tin. Top each with a dollop of the mashed sweet potatoes to make it look like a cupcake.
