Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cook the sweet potato according to your preferred method. I like to microwave mine for the fastest approach. To do so, wash the sweet potato well, then wrap it in a wet paper towel and place it on a plate. Microwave for 5 minutes per side, or until the potato is very tender.
  • Allow the potato to cool completely before using it in the recipe. I refrigerate mine until it is chilled. Once chilled, remove the skin and mash the flesh using a potato masher or a fork. Measure out ⅔ cup of sweet potato puree to add to the recipe.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a muffin tray with 9 paper liners.
  • Mix the mashed sweet potato, eggs, pure maple syrup, avocado oil, vanilla extract, and grated ginger in a large bowl until the wet ingredients are well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and sea salt until the dry ingredients are combined.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients, and mix well.
  • Fill the muffin holes all the way up with the sweet potato muffin batter.
  • Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the muffins are fully cooked.
  • Muffins have the best texture when they have an internal temperature of 190 to 205 degrees F. To check for doneness, insert a digital thermometer into the center of a muffin.
  • Transfer the muffin pan to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely in the muffin tin.

Notes

*If you don’t have tapioca flour on hand, you can use 2 ½ cups of almond flour. The texture won’t turn out as fluffy, but the muffins will still taste great!
