Notes

  • You may use any flour of your choice. I've made them with oat flour and whole wheat flour. GF will also work.
  • To cook the sweet potato, you can either microwave it, bake it, or cook it on your stovetop with a medium pot and water.
  • Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes or so before eating.
  • Depending, you may be able to make 12-14 muffins.
