Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Cooking spray (as needed)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 ½ cups mashed roasted sweet potatoes
- ¾ cup almond milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla paste
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare the pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-count muffin pan with parchment paper cups, and lightly spray them with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy muffin release.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined. Set this mixture aside.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk the mashed roasted sweet potatoes, almond milk, and vanilla paste until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Add the dry ingredient mixture to the sweet potato mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain fluffy muffins.
- Fill muffin cups: Using a spoon or scoop, divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake the muffins: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Cool and serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, serve and enjoy these delicious sweet potato muffins.
Notes
- Ensure the sweet potatoes are well roasted and mashed smoothly for the best texture and flavor.
- Use parchment paper liners for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking, even with the cooking spray.
- Check muffins a few minutes before the minimum baking time to prevent overbaking.
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk or dairy milk.
- For added texture, consider mixing in chopped nuts or raisins into the batter.
