It’s the fall season, and we all need some comforting, heart-warming breakfast to start the day. If you are looking for something different from pumpkin pancakes or pumpkin muffins, try these sweet potato muffins! You won’t believe that a batch sneaks more than 2 cups of mashed sweet potatoes! What a great way to sneak extra vegetables into your day.

What Are Sweet Potato Muffins?

A sweet potato muffin is an ultra-moist muffin, very similar to pumpkin muffins in texture but made from mashed orange sweet potatoes instead of pumpkin puree. It’s flavored with cinnamon and fall spices that make the muffins fragrant and comforting on cold mornings.

Ingredients and Substitutions

All you need to make them are:

Mashed Orange Sweet Potatoes – While you can use any color of sweet potatoes, you can also use other types. The texture and sweetness are just a little different with other colors. Oil of Choice – You can use light flavor olive oil, canola oil, or melted coconut oil. Simply keep in mind that coconut oil makes the muffins heavier, so not my favorite choice in this recipe. Almond Milk or coconut milk Vanilla Extract – for flavor. All-Purpose Flour – This recipe doesn’t contain eggs, and therefore, it won’t work with low-carb flours like coconut flour or almond flour. You can only swap all-purpose flour for ultra-fine oat flour for a healthier muffin recipe. Coconut Ssugar or any granulated sugar you love, like unrefined cane sugar or brown sugar. Baking Powder and Baking Soda – to give the muffins a great soft texture. Cinnamon – for classic fall flavor.
