Healthy Chocolate Chip Sweet Potato Muffins

Wet ingredients

mashed sweet potato (from 2-3 large sweet potatoes)

eggs

maple syrup

avocado oil, olive oil

vanilla extract

Greek yogurt

vanilla almond milk (or lite coconut milk)

Dry ingredients

cinnamon

baking soda

salt

chocolate chips

For topping:

To roast the sweet potatoes: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Poke holes in sweet potatoes with a fork and place sweet potatoes on baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until fork tender, depending on the size of your potatoes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes then remove skin and mash out exactly 1 ½ cups of the sweet potato. Do not use more than that.

Reduce heat in oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with liners and spray the inside of them with nonstick cooking spray -- DO NOT SKIP THIS.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.

In a separate large bowl mix together mashed sweet potato, eggs, maple syrup, oil, vanilla, greek yogurt and almond milk until well combined, smooth and creamy.&nbsp;

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in ½ cup chocolate chips.

Divide batter evenly into muffin liners, top each with a few chocolate chips, and bake for 25-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.&nbsp;

Cool muffins for 5 minutes then remove and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Muffins are best served warm and even better the next day. I like serving mine with a little nut butter on top.

Incredibly fluffy, wholesome sweet potato muffins that are naturally sweetened, gluten-free, and swirled with roasted almond butter. The perfect sweet treat made with good-for-you, whole-food ingredients.

Fluffy Almond Butter Sweet Potato Muffins (GF)

sweet potato purée ((~1 large sweet potato,

almond butter

almond milk or cashew milk

½ tsp baking powder

tsp pumpkin pie spice

gluten-free flour blend

almond flour

oat flour ((ground

To make sweet potato purée, halve sweet potato and brush the cut-sides with oil (optional). Place on parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 375 F (190 C) for ~25-30 minutes or until tender to the touch. Let cool  for 5 minutes. Then peel away skin and mash in a mixing bowl (or food processor). Set aside.

Adjust oven temperature to 350 degrees F (176 C) and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.

Add sweet potato purée, maple syrup, almond butter, and egg to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Then add almond milk and whisk again.

Add baking powder and pumpkin pie spice and whisk once more. Then add gluten-free flour, almond flour, and oat flour and stir to combine. The batter should be slightly thick and scoopable, not easily pourable (see photo). If too thin, add more almond flour or GF flour. If too thick, thin with a small amount of dairy-free milk.

Scoop batter into muffin tins (I like doing this using an ice cream scoop) until filled almost to the top (as the recipe is written, there should be 12 muffins). Then drop about 1/2 tsp almond butter onto the center of each muffin and gently swirl around with a toothpick or knife.

Bake for 26-30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick in the center comes out clean (a few small crumbs are okay, just as long as it’s not gooey). Remove from oven and let rest in tins for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack to let cool completely.

Cool completely (the wrapper comes off easiest that way). Store in an air-tight container at room temperature up to 3-4 days or in the freezer up to 1 month.

Sweet Potato Muffins

mashed sweet potato (1 medium sweet potato)

all purpose flour

baking powder

milk (or non-dairy milk)

brown sugar

neutral oil (or substitute melted butter)

applesauce

sugar,

Cook the sweet potato

Make a or Steamed Sweet Potato (30 minutes) or Quick Baked Sweet Potato (35 minutes)*. Scrape the flesh out of the skin and use a fork to mash it in a bowl. Measure out 1 cup of puree. While the potato cooks, preheat and prep the batter.

Preheat

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Add 12 muffin cups to a muffin tin.

Meanwhile, mix the batter

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and kosher salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, then the milk, brown sugar, sweet potato puree, oil and applesauce. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Fill the muffin cups evenly (there will be a good amount of batter, which makes for tall muffins). Sprinkle the tops with granulated sugar.

Bake

Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove the muffins and place them on a cooling rack to fully cool. Store up to 4 days in a sealed container with a paper towel on the bottom and top, refrigerated up to 1 week or more, or frozen up to 3 months.

great idea, already love sweet potatoes, have never seen them in a muffin before, very creative, thank you!

Wonderful recipe!   I used the extra cinnamon and used a banana in place of apple sauce and they taste delicious!  Thank you for sharing the recipe - tonight was the first time I made these, but it certainly won't be the last!  Cheers, Sam :  )

Lovely recipe! I made 12 muffins and second batch 24 mini muffins--plus a bonus four full size! Used turbinado sugar instead of white on top.

They did spill over the top of my cups when they rose, though, so they didn't look QUITE as lovely as your pictures.

These are delicious!  Used a banana instead of applesauce - can’t wait to make these again!
