Ingredients

Muffins

  • 1 ½ cups or two medium-sized sweet potatoes cooked and cooled, then mashed
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup coconut oil melted and cooled

Crumb Topping

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup coconut oil melted
  • ¼ cup brown sugar

Instructions

Muffins

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners.
  • In a large bowl, add the wet ingredients and mix to combine. Pour in the dry ingredients and mix everything together. Don't overmix!
  • Evenly distribute the batter throughout the muffin tin, filling each cup almost to the top, about ¾ way full.

Crumb Topping

  • Add crumb topping ingredients to a small bowl and mix to combine. The mixture should form clumps and hold together when pinched between two fingers.
  • Scatter the topping over the top of the muffins.
  • Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow them to cool on a cooling rack for about 15 minutes and enjoy!

Notes

  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container or bag in the fridge for up to a week or in a freezer-safe container for about 3 months. Allow the muffins to defrost at room temperature for about one hour.
  • Don't overmix the muffin batter.
  • Always make sure you are using room-temperature ingredients when baking!
