Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-count muffin pan with parchment paper cups, then spray with non-stick cooking spray (for best results).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potatoes, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the sweet potato mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until combined.
  5. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each muffin cavity about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow them to cool completely before enjoying.

Notes

  • Two important notes:
  • Recipe: This recipe was adopted from Vegan Heaven
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container with a paper towel under them to absorb any moisture. They will last about 4-5 days in the fridge. You can also freeze the muffins for up to 3 months. 
  • Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is and use roasted sweet potatoes. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
  • Use roasted sweet potatoes to avoid a gummy, underbaked texture.
  • Use parchment paper muffin liners to keep the muffins from sticking to the liner.
  • I would not recommend using yams instead of sweet potatoes. They have more starch than sweet potatoes so they won't lend enough moisture to the recipe as sweet potatoes do.
  • Instead of almond milk, you can use any other plant-based milk or regular milk.
  • I tested this recipe with a whole wheat white flour, but it will work with any other all purpose flours.
  • To make this gluten-free, use an all-purpose gluten-free flour mix. Do not substitute only almond flour or only coconut flour.
  • Replace sugar with other types of granulated sugar.
