Plant-Based Sweet Potato Muffins

Sweet potatoes make a delicious breakfast when combined with fall spices and oat flour. They're high in vitamins A, B5, B6, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin, and carotenoids. Plus, they’re naturally sweet, so these muffins don’t need a ton of added sugar—just a touch of maple syrup. Serve warm with plant-based butter or nut butter for breakfast.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 medium organic sweet potato, roasted (1 c canned sweet potato)
• ¾ c organic nut milk
• 2 Tbsp avocado oil or melted coconut oil
• 3 Tbsp ground chia seed in ½ cup of water
• 1 c oat flour (a.k.a. finely ground oats)
• ¼ c coconut flour
• ⅓ c pure maple syrup
