Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (around 2 medium or 1 large sweet potato)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup coconut oil (melted)
Dry Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups oats
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
Add-ins
- 3.5 ounces dark chocolate, chopped into chip-sized pieces
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare muffin tin: Preheat your oven to 350º F (175º C). Lightly oil a muffin tin and dust it with some flour to prevent sticking.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, milk, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil. Stir well until fully blended.
- Mix dry ingredients: In another large bowl, whisk together the baking powder, salt, cinnamon, oats, and whole wheat flour until evenly distributed.
- Combine wet and dry: Gradually pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing slowly and thoroughly to form the batter.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold in the chopped dark chocolate pieces evenly throughout the batter.
- Fill muffin tin: Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup to the top for full, rounded muffins.
- Bake and cool: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Make sure the sweet potatoes are well mashed to avoid lumps in the batter.
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
- For extra moisture, you can add a tablespoon of yogurt or applesauce.
- Dark chocolate can be replaced with raisins or nuts for a different flavor twist.
- Best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
