Description

These muffins are packed with good-for-you ingredients, including almond butter, sweet potato, and spelt flour! They’re made without oil or butter, but are still incredibly moist.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup creamy natural almond butter
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups spelt flour
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Poke several holes in sweet potatoes using a fork, and bake in a baking dish for 45 minutes – 1 hour until fork tender (this step may be done ahead of time).
  2. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Grease a muffin tin with spray oil.
  3. Scoop out 1 1/2 cups of sweet potato flesh. Add to a bowl of a stand mixer (or mixing bowl if using a hand mixer), along with almond butter, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed until well combined, then add eggs, one at a time.
  4. Combine spelt flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and turmeric in a separate mixing bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry, and mix together until just combined. 
  5. Fold in chocolate chips.
  6. Pour batter evenly into 12 muffin spaces.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the muffins.
  8. Let cool, then run a knife along the edges of the muffins to remove them.

Notes

These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or frozen and reheated.

Feel free to use peanut butter or other nut butter in this recipe, just be sure to use all natural, creamy nut butter.
