Vegetables in a muffin? It might sound strange, but sweet potato is in fact sweet, which makes it the ideal flavouring. Sweet potato is very filling and this muffin is low in quick sugars. A good snack for work, on the go, or as a treat.
50 g butter, at room temperature, + extra for greasing
60 g coconut blossom sugar
5 eggs
250 g almond flour
1 tbsp gingerbread spices
2 tsp baking powder
Kitchen tools
potato masher (optional)
mixer
muffin tray
Preparation method
Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into equal sized pieces. Cook in boiling water for about approx. 15 minutes until tender. Mash coarsely and leave to cool. Grease the muffin tray with butter.
Beat the butter with the coconut blossom sugar using the the mixer until light and airy. Add the eggs one by one. Beat well. Only add the next egg when the previous egg has been incorporated. Beat for another 4 minutes. Spoon the almond flour, spices and baking powder through the batter. Then add the mashed sweet potato.
Divide the batter over the wells of the muffin tray. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 25 minutes until golden brown and cooked.
Tip: Add a handful of raisins or dried cranberries with the mashed sweet potatoes. Or 100 grams of coarsely chopped, extra dark chocolate.
