Yield Makes 12 Muffins

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup / 150g whole-grain wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup / 100g rolled oats
1 cup / 150g chopped dates
¼ cup / 60ml coconut oil, melted, plus more for greasing the muffin tin
2 ripe bananas
1 cup / 275g sweet potato purée (from about 1 large roasted sweet potato)
¹⁄8 cup / 80ml pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
¾ cup / 185ml plant-based milk of your choice
Handful of chopped raw, unsalted pecans
Zest of 1 orange

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°C / 190°C. Lightly grease a 12-muffin tin with coconut oil and set it aside.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Add the oats and stir to combine.
  • In a food processor, pulse to combine the bananas, sweet potato purée, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla, and milk. Pour these wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir to combine, using as few strokes as possible. Fold in the chopped dates and optional add-ins.
  • Drop a few tablespoons of the batter into each muffin cup and bake until they are golden, fragrant, and pass the toothpick test, about 30 minutes. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for 1 month.

DATE SWEET POTATO SPELT MUFFINS (VEGAN)



Date Sweet Potato Spelt Muffins (Vegan) image

A delicious, healthful vegan muffin that is crisp and golden on top, dense on and hearty on the inside, and all around addictive. The recipe is a recreation of my favourite muffins from a terrific vegan cafe in Toronto. Other tasty flavour combinations include: pear & walnut, apple & cranberries, or whatever else may tickle your fancy.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough, so mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a muffin pan with a nonstick coating or line it with muffin liners: This will help the muffins to come out of the pan easily.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise without overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Check the muffins a few minutes before the end of the baking time to make sure they don't overcook.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely: This will help the muffins to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These vegan date sweet potato muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They're packed with nutrients and fiber, and they're naturally sweetened with dates. They're also easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast or snack, give these muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
