Description

These healthy and wholesome sweet potato oat flour muffins have notes of vanilla and chai, and they’re studded with plenty of chocolate chips. They’re easy to make, and delicious for breakfast and snacks.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup salted butter, melted
  • 1 cup mashed or pureed sweet potato
  • 2/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup milk (any kind, dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
  • 1/8 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/2 cup raisins or chocolate chips
  • Cinnamon sugar, for sprinkling (see notes section)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F and lightly grease a standard 12-muffin pan with butter, or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Whisk in the melted butter, sweet potato, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla.
  3. In a medium bowl, stir together the oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, and cloves.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined. Fold in the raisins or chocolate chips.
  5. Fill each muffin cup with batter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Press in a few more chocolate chips, if desired.
  6. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  7. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove and enjoy one warm, with a touch of honey butter or nut butter, if desired… and perhaps a tall glass of goat milk or a cup of chai tea!
  8. Enjoy! Muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for three days or in the fridge for about a week.

Notes

To bring eggs to room temperature quickly, place in a bowl of warm water for 10 minutes.

You could try making these vegan by using melted coconut oil in place of the butter and flax eggs (one flax egg is 1 tablespoon ground flax mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water) in place of the eggs.

Cinnamon sugar is 1 tablespoon of cane sugar mixed with 1 heaping teaspoon of ground cinnamon.

Oat flour should be measured using the “spoon and level” method. Use a spoon to fill your measuring cup and then level it off to avoid packing too much flour into your measuring cup.
