Ingredients (per serving):
- 1/2 cup mashed sweet potato
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
Cooking Tips:
- To make mashed sweet potato, simply peel and boil a sweet potato until soft, then mash with a fork or potato masher.
- For best results, use room temperature eggs and honey.
- If you don't have almond flour or coconut flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour.
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potato, chopped pecans, almond flour, coconut flour, honey, and eggs until well combined.
3. Add the baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, and mix until just combined.
4. Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
6. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
