Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (about 1 medium sweet potato)
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes and mashed avocado until smooth.
- Add the honey (or maple syrup), eggs, and vanilla extract to the sweet potato mixture, stirring until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and almond flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer chocolate flavor, add an extra tablespoon of cocoa powder or substitute half of the almond flour with whole wheat flour.
- Experiment by adding nuts or seeds, such as walnuts or chia seeds, for added texture and nutrition.
