My client often asks me for healthier muffin recipes! After a bit of research, I found this version made with nut butter and sweet potato. I use nut butter because I’m allergic to peanuts, but you could definitely make the recipe with peanut butter if you prefer! I love the texture it gives and the subtle sweetness. They’re perfect for a nutritious breakfast or a snack with coffee! And bonus — they’re gluten-free!

Why make this recipe?

  • Gluten-free & high in protein: Perfect for anyone looking for a healthier option without compromising on flavor.

  • Naturally sweetened: Made with maple syrup or honey for a less refined, more wholesome sweetness.

  • Nut butter goodness: Adds a creamy texture and a good dose of healthy fats.

  • Sweet potato = guaranteed moisture: A great flour alternative that brings fiber.

  • Quick & easy to make: Ideal for busy mornings or meal prep.

  • Super versatile: Enjoy them for breakfast, as a snack, or even for a light dessert.

Ingredients

Preparation
1.

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Wrap the sweet potato in aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Let it cool for about 15 minutes before cutting it open and scooping out the flesh.

2.

In a large bowl, combine the almond butter, mashed sweet potato, maple syrup (or honey), eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

3.

Add the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger (or chai spices), and salt. Stir until the batter is uniform.

4.

Lightly grease a muffin tin with a drizzle of olive oil. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups (about ⅓ cup or 80g per muffin). Sprinkle sliced almonds and sugar on top.

5.

Bake for 14-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6.

Let the muffins cool before removing them from the pan and enjoy!
