Sweet Potato Oatmeal Muffin Cups Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats, plus more for topping
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- ⅓ cup coconut oil, melted
- ⅓ cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Set oven temperature to 325°F. A 12-cup muffin pan should be greased with cooking spray or butter.
- Mix the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt in a big bowl. Put aside.
- Mashed sweet potatoes, maple syrup, coconut oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract should all be thoroughly mixed together in a separate big basin.
- Blend the dry components with the wet ones until they are well blended. Avoid over-mixing.
- Evenly distribute the batter into each muffin cup, filling each to about ⅔ full. Optionally, top with a sprinkle of oats. Bake for twenty to twenty-five minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
- After ten minutes of cooling, move them to a wire rack to finish cooling. To loosen the muffins, you might need to run a butter knife down the rims of the muffin cups.
