I’m always looking for healthy snacks that I can carry with me and eat throughout the day. I have been making healthy muffins for breakfast for a while, but decided that I wanted to try making a more Parkinson’s focused version. I did this by adding more healthy fiber and aromatics, and decreasing the amount of work and prep-time required.
Yams are a favorite of mine. They’re filled with a ton of anti-oxidants, Vitamin A, B5, B6, Thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, carotenoids and high in fiber. By adding in flaxseeds, and the great aromatics like cinnamon, ginger and turmeric, this recipe is now perfect for people with Parkinson’s disease who are working with their diets to decrease inflammation, help with digestion, and increase vitamins that will support their brain and nervous system. Try these hardy muffins as an add-on to your breakfast, or as a mid-day snack. I loved the batter because it smelled and tasted like pumpkin pie!
