Spiced Sweet Potato Muffins

These are delicious muffins! They are completely toddler friendly, no added sugar, no flour, and when he requests this for breakfast, it's actually a great option! As a bonus, it tastes like a bite of pumpkin pie, so I love it too!

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup dry baby oatmeal*
  • 1 banana
  • 4 oz container sweet potato puree**
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray or line a mini muffin tin with cooking spray or paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, add all ingredients. Mix until combined.
  3. Pour batter into muffin cups until they are almost full - a little over a tablespoon of batter per mini muffin tin.
  4. Bake for about 10 minutes, until they are set on top. Let cool to finish setting up, and enjoy!

Notes

*I use Beech-nut oatmeal for this, but you can also use regular dry oats, and blend until fine.
**I use Beech-nut for this as well, and don't be afraid - this is actually JUST sweet potatoes! Check the ingredient list to make sure. If you don't have this on hand, but do have a sweet potato, you can also add a 1/4 cup of mashed sweet potato instead.
