Sweet Potato Anti-Inflammatory Muffins
Description
Sweet Potato Anti-Inflammatory Muffins begin with pureed sweet potato combined with eggs, melted coconut oil, coconut milk (or almond milk), pure maple syrup, and vanilla for a moist base. Dry ingredients include almond flour, baking powder, salt, and a blend of spices: cinnamon, ground ginger, turmeric, cloves, and nutmeg. These dry ingredients are mixed together and then incorporated into the wet mixture.
The batter is then portioned into a greased or lined muffin pan and baked at 400°F (approximately 200°C) for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. The resulting muffins have a soft crumb flavored with warm spices and a subtly sweet yam note from the sweet potato.
They make an excellent snack or breakfast component, providing a combination of flavors associated with anti-inflammatory benefits, without relying on processed flours.
