Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup mashed cooked sweet potato, cooled
- ½ cup No Sugar Added SunButter
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk or oat milk
Dry Ingredients
- 1½ cups certified gluten-free oat flour
- ½ cup almond flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
Optional Maple SunButter Drizzle
- 2 TBSP No Sugar Added SunButter
- 1 TBSP pure maple syrup
- 1–2 TBSP warm water or plant-based milk
- Pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven. Preheat to 350°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
2. Prepare the sweet potato. Roast or steam sweet potato until fork-tender. Remove the skin and mash until smooth. Allow to cool before using.
3. Mix the wet ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potato, SunButter, maple syrup, and plant-based milk until smooth.
4. Add the dry ingredients. Add the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt. Stir until just combined. The batter should be thick but scoopable.
5. Rest the batter. Allow the batter to sit for 5 minutes to let the oat flour absorb some moisture.
6. Fill the muffin tin. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
7. Bake. Transfer to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, until the tops spring back lightly and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out without wet batter.
8. Cool. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Prepare the drizzle. Whisk together SunButter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and enough warm water or plant-based milk to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
10. Serve. Drizzle over the cooled muffins and enjoy!
