These muffins are inspired by one of my mommy friends who hosts playgroup once a week.   Not only is she brave enough to invite TEN toddlers into her beautiful home, she also manages to have a pot of coffee on for the moms and a healthy treat cooling out of the oven- ready for old and new taste buds a like.  Did I mention, she has TWINS!? Some people make it look so easy!  This recipe has been simplified and enhanced with Olivio and the healthiness of Olive Oil to keep you and your loved ones happy and satisfied.  The sweet potato base make these super moist and naturally sweet. These are now a favorite in our house too!
