Ingredients
For the muffins:
- 1 Cup Sweet Potato Puree (see Note 1)
- 3 Large Eggs
- â…“ Cup Melted Butter
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar
- â…“ Cup Milk (regular or plant based)
- Âľ Cup Light Brown Sugar
- 2 ÂĽ Cups Gluten-free Flour
- 1 teaspoon ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 Tbsp. Baking powder (I use Hain’s no sodium)
- ½ teaspoon Sea Salt
For the Streusel Topping:
- 1 Tbsp. Melted Butter
- 2 Tbsp. Sugar
- 3 Tbsp. Gluten-free Flour
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
Instructions
-
Beat the eggs in a large bowl using a whisk or electric mixer.
-
Add the sweet potato puree, vanilla extract, milk, apple cider vinegar, and melted butter. Whisk to combine.
-
Fold in sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt.
-
Allow the batter to sit for 30 minutes for the flour to hydrate.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin pan with 12 muffin liners.
-
Fill each cup with the batter.
-
Prepare the streusel by mixing all its ingredients in a small bowl until a grainy consistency.
-
Spread 1 teaspoon of streusel on top of each muffin.
-
Bake the muffins for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Due to the ingredients in these muffins they may require an additional 10 minutes so they don’t turn out gummy.
-
Once out of the oven, transfer the muffins out of the pan and onto a cooking rack so they don’t get wet on the base.Â
Note 1:
Sweet potato puree can be found in the supermarket next to the pumpkin, however I find it next to impossible to find. To make sweet potato puree, simply bake a sweet potato in a 400°F oven for 40-55 min depending on size. Once cool enough to handle, peel the skin off and place it in a food processor and blend for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides and adding a teaspoon or 2 of milk until smooth.Â
