Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

Wet ingredients
1 ½ cups mashed sweet potato (from 2-3 large sweet potatoes)
2 eggs
¼ cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons avocado oil, olive oil or melted coconut oil (butter will also work!)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or lite coconut milk)
Dry ingredients
1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour (or white whole wheat flour)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup dark chocolate chips
For topping:
2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips

Steps:

  • To roast the sweet potatoes: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Poke holes in sweet potatoes with a fork and place sweet potatoes on baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until fork tender, depending on the size of your potatoes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes then remove skin and mash out exactly 1 ½ cups of the sweet potato. Do not use more than that.
  • Reduce heat in oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with liners and spray the inside of them with nonstick cooking spray -- DO NOT SKIP THIS.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
  • In a separate large bowl mix together mashed sweet potato, eggs, maple syrup, oil, vanilla, greek yogurt and almond milk until well combined, smooth and creamy.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in ½ cup chocolate chips.
  • Divide batter evenly into muffin liners, top each with a few chocolate chips, and bake for 25-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
  • Cool muffins for 5 minutes then remove and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Muffins are best served warm and even better the next day. I like serving mine with a little nut butter on top.

WHOLE WHEAT SWEET POTATO MUFFINS



Whole Wheat Sweet Potato Muffins image

In the quest for healthy breakfast muffins that my fast food loving husband will eat, I adapted this recipe and really liked it. The muffins are really moist, not too sweet, and have the added benefit of whole wheat and fresh sweet potato. Update: I made this with shredded carrots, substituted apple sauce for the oil, and added dried fruit bits and it worked equally as well. Update 2: topped these with a combo of pecans, raw sugar, and dark chocolate... yummy!
