Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet potato mashed
- 1 cup almond butter unsweetened
- 2 egg large
- ⅔ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract pure
- ⅔ cup cocoa powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon optional
- 1/2 tsp salt sea salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips *
Instructions
- Cook a large sweet potato using your preferred cooking method (see post above for cooking instructions). Once cool enough to handle, mash the sweet potato and measure 1 cup.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Transfer the sweet potato puree, almond butter, eggs, pure maple syrup, avocado oil, and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl. Mix until the wet ingredients are well-combined.
- Add the cocoa powder, baking powder, sea salt, and cinnamon (the dry ingredients) to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix well until a thick muffin batter forms.
- If adding, stir in the chocolate chips.
- Fill the muffin liners ¾ of the way full with muffin batter. If you’d like, sprinkle the top of the batter with extra chocolate chips.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the muffins test clean.
- Muffins are considered fully cooked once they reach an internal temperature of 190 to 200 degrees F. If you have a meat thermometer and you want to check for doneness, you can insert the digital thermometer into the center of a muffin.
- Allow muffins to cool to room temperature before peeling off a muffin paper and eating.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- *For fudgier, more decadent muffins, use 1 cup of chocolate chips instead of 1/2.
