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

- Pour batter evenly into 12 muffin spaces.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the muffins.
