Sweet Potato Date Muffins
Ingredients
  • 1/2 sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 1/2 cups spelt flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seed oil
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup chopped pitted dates
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 175 degrees Celsius. To prevent the muffin cups from sticking, lightly coat them with a non-stick spray or line them with paper liners.
2
In a small saucepan, combine diced sweet potatoes and enough water to cover them. Place the pan over high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Continue cooking until the sweet potatoes are tender, which should take around 10 minutes.
3
Once cooked, drain the sweet potatoes and set them aside to cool down.
4
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine the spelt flour, oats, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mix these dry ingredients together until well combined.
5
In another bowl, mash the bananas with a fork and mix them with oil and sugar until smooth. Combine this banana mixture with the dry ingredients just until they form a moist batter.
6
Fold in the dates and cooked sweet potatoes into the banana mixture, taking care not to overmix.
7
Divide the muffin mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
8
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for about 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean.
9
After 18 minutes, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Finally, transfer the muffins to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely.
