Gluten-Free Apple Sweet Potato Muffins

Sweet Potato Apple Muffins


Tender, naturally sweet, and spiced — these muffins are healthy, gluten-free and low sugar, making them a great breakfast or snack. I love serving them warm with a little almond butter and a cup of tea.
Servings 12 muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ½ cup buckwheat flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon cardamom
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mashed sweet potato roasted or steamed
  • 1 mashed banana
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil or avocado oil
  • ¾ - 1 cup almond or coconut milk*
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 medium apple chopped and thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a muffin pan with coconut oil.

  2. Mix dry ingredients (flours, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt) in a medium bowl. In another bowl, mash the banana with the sweet potato, then mix in oil, milk*, maple, and vanilla.

  3. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until everything is just combined. Fold in half the apple chunks.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared muffin pan. Top each muffin with the remainder of the apple chunks. Bake for 30 minutes total, rotating the muffin pan at the 15-minute mark and bake for 15 minutes more.

Recipe Notes

*Start by adding ¾ cup and mix everything to combine. If the mixture seems a little too dry (it should be thick and slightly sticky, but still easy to stir), add another 2-4 tablespoons of the milk.
