Ingredients
Meatloaf Cupcakes
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon chopped curly parsley for garnish
Sweet Potato Frosting
- 2 cups boiled sweet potato cubes (from 2 medium sweet potatoes)
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt or softened cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 6-cup muffin pan with coconut oil.
- Place the ground beef, oats, and egg in a large bowl. Use your hands to combine them.
- Spoon equal amounts of the mixture into the cups.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 165°F. Remove the cupcakes from the pan and allow them to cool completely.
- Peel, cube, and boil sweet potatoes until fork-tender. Drain the water and place 2 cups of the cubes in a mixing bowl. Add the yogurt and coconut oil.
- Using a hand mixer, beat until smooth. Spread the frosting on the cooled cupcakes. Garnish with chopped curly parsley.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
For mini cupcakes, you can use a mini muffin pan. The baking time will be less, about 15 minutes.
Do not use Italian flat-leaf parsley because it contains furanocoumarins, which are toxic to dogs.
