Equipment

Ingredients

  • cup melted refined coconut oil, or any neutral flavored oil such as avocado or canola
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sweet potato puree, canned or homemade
  • cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

Optional Pecan Topping

  • cup chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoons almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon melted refined coconut oil, or any neutral flavored oil such as avocado or canola
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • Pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

Prepare the Muffins

  • Heat the oven to 350F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, eggs, sweet potato puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  • Add the almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until well incorporated.

Prepare the Optional Topping

  • Make the topping my mixing together the pecans, 2 tablespoons almond flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt in a small bowl.
  • Spoon 2-3 heaping tablespoons of the batter into a greased or silicone lined 12-cup muffin pan. Top each with a sprinkle of the pecan topping, if using.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges begin to pull away from the sides and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool completely in the pan. They are very moist, especially if you use almond flour, and can fall apart if you try to remove them too early.
