Ingredients

  • 1 ½ c sweet potato puré or mashed sweet potatoes (about 3 medium sweet potatoes, you can use pumpkin as well)
  • 1 ½ c whole wheat pastry flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ c milk of choice
  • 2 T oil (canola, melted coconut, or favorite cooking oil)
  • ⅓ - ½ c real maple syrup
  • c shredded carrot
  • c raisins (½ c is fine too, I just love raisins)
  • ½ c chopped pecans or walnuts
  • ½ c shredded coconut, unsweetened
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2-3 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Put muffin liners into a 12 muffin tin and spray cooking oil into each of the muffin cups. (Don't skip this, I promise you will be happy you didn't!)
  • In a medium bowl, whisk flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda and set aside.
  • In another bowl, combine sweet potato, oil, egg, maple vanilla and milk and mix together to combine. (For best results, mix by hand and not a mixer.)
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients and mix together.
  • Fold in raisins, carrots, coconut, and nuts.
  • Scoop into muffin tin and fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  • Bake for 25-35 minutes until a toothpick comes up clean.
  • Cool for 15 minutes before enjoying. Store at room temperature in an air tight container for 4-5 days.
