Muffins are not only a sweet cake but also a perfect snack! Make a large batch and keep in the freezer, easy to prepare and thaw when hunger sneaks up on. Sweetness and beautiful color from sweet potatoes and crunch from sunflower seeds, are good to keep your blood sugar in check. The photo was taken using two studio strobes, one main light from back and one on the right side to lift the shadows.
