Healthy Sweet Potato Muffin Recipe

• 1 large sweet potato (diced and steamed until soft) or 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup extra olive oil or melted coconut oil
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 3/4 cup maple syrup plus 2 Tbs for brushing the muffins
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 Tbs hemp hearts
• 2 cups gluten-free flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 1/2 tsp Chinese Five-spice or all-spice (cinnamon, cloves, star anise, fennel seeds and Szechuan pepper) or just use cinnamon and ginger
• 1/2 tsp fine sea salt

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Peel the sweet potatoes, chop and lightly steam them.
3. Drain and mash with hemp hearts.
4. Whisk the olive oil or coconut oil, almond milk, maple syrup and add into the potato mixture. In a separate bowl sift flour, hemp hearts, baking powder, baking soda, five-spice powder and salt.
5. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
6. Line muffin tins with liners.
7. Pour 1/3 cup batter into each muffin cup, almost filling it.
8. Bake on the center rack for 22 minutes, rotating the tin 180 degrees after 10 minutes.
9. The finished muffins will be soft to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean.
10. When they come out of the oven, brush with maple syrup and let cool.
