Sweet Potato Muffins
Description
Sweet Potato Muffins mix whole wheat pastry flour with aromatic spices such as cinnamon and ground ginger, providing a gentle warmth and depth. The addition of mashed sweet potato brings moisture and natural sweetness into the batter, complemented by coconut sugar and Greek yogurt for a tender texture. Avocado oil contributes a slight richness without overpowering the other flavors. The muffins are topped with a cinnamon and coconut sugar blend, which caramelizes during baking, giving a delicate crunch and added sweetness on top.
The batter is mixed until just combined to maintain a light texture, with no concern over small lumps. Baking at 350°F for about 18 to 20 minutes produces golden muffins with a soft crumb. Cooling them on a wire rack prevents sogginess and keeps the muffins fresh. These muffins offer a wholesome treat suitable for morning meals or a mid-day pick-me-up.
