Ingredients
- 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 2 1/2 tablespoons water)
- 3/4 cup sweet potato puree
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon canola oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 cup oat flour (ground from rolled oats)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup Barney Butter Smooth Almond Butter
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375F and line muffin tin with paper liners.
- Prepare flax egg in a large mixing bowl and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Add sweet potato puree, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla extract and mix. Then add almond milk and stir once more.
- Carefully place whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon into a sifter and sift over wet ingredients. Then add oat flour on its own and stir until just combined.
- Spoon batter into muffin tins until filled almost to the top. Then drop about 1 tsp almond butter onto the center of each muffin and gently swirl around with a toothpick or knife.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes (or more) until golden brown and a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let rest in tins for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack to let cool completely.
- Cool completely or they will not come off the wrapper well. Store in an air-tight container and refrigerate to ensure freshness. Will keep in the freezer for up to a few weeks.
