Ingredients

• 1 cup Sweet potato (mashed)
• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 0.3 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tins.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, mix the mashed sweet potato, eggs, melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until no dry streaks remain.

Step 5

Fold in the almond milk a little at a time to achieve a smooth and slightly thick batter. If using, fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts at this stage.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
