Sweet Potato Paleo Muffins
Just the right amount of sweet and all kinds of soft and fluffy, these Sweet Potato Paleo Muffins will become the star at your breakfast table. Naturally sweetened and mixed entirely in your blender or food processor, they couldn’t be easier to make or more family-friendly.
It is no secret that I’m a bit of a muffin fangirl. Especially grain-free muffins. And if they are easy to make, then those muffins are my new favorite thing. Muffins are just the perfect make-ahead, already-portioned-out-for-me breakfast and lunch box accompaniment and I pretty much always have a batch in my fridge or freezer.
But since my family eats a lot of muffins, finding new muffin recipes that really impress my clan can be a bit tricky. Especially grain-free muffins. If you are a seasoned grain-free goer like myself, than you know that grain-free baked goods can sometimes have a heavy or dense texture that puts people off and I have experimented through many failed recipes trying to find the perfect fluffy muffin recipe.
But, guys…… I have found a unicorn of a grain-free muffin recipe in these Grain-Free Sweet Potato Muffins. They are the perfect level of natural sweetness from the sweet potatoes and honey/maple syrup but are made light and fluffy from the protein-rich eggs that are whipped to perfection in your food processor or blender. Muffin baking doesn’t get any easier than these beauties….or tastier.

Sweet Potato Paleo Muffins
Just the right amount of sweet and all kinds of soft and fluffy, these Sweet Potato Paleo Muffins will become the star at your breakfast table. Naturally sweetened and mixed entirely in your blender or food processor, they couldn’t be easier to make or more family-friendly.
ingredients:
-
3/4 cup cooked sweet potato, peeled and packed into measuring cup
-
5 eggs
-
1/2 cup coconut flour
-
1/4 cup coconut oil
-
1 tsp vanilla
-
1/4 cup honey
-
1/4 cup coconut milk
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
1 1/2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
-
1 tablespoon cinnamon
-
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
-
1/4 cup chopped walnuts for topping (optional)
instructions
Preheat oven to 400F and line a muffin tin with 9 cupcake liners.
Combine all ingredients except for the walnuts (if using) in a high-speed blender or food processor. Run until mixture has a smooth and even consistency.
Portion out between lined muffin tins.
Bake for 15-18 or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Cool completely before enjoying and store in fridge for up to 5 days.
Do you usually stir in the walnuts at the end, or are they just for the tops prior(?) to baking?
These look wonderful! I wonder if I could sub butternut squash for the sweet potato (just because I have it on hand)?
I imagine so, though I haven’t tried it. They have similar flavors and textures, just make sure your butternut squash isn’t too wet!
Do I need to make any adjustments if using wheat flour and cow or almond milk?
I made a batch of these last weekend, replacing the honey with maple syrup and the coconut milk with almond milk. They were so good, I plan on making a double batch this weekend! They freeze very well too!
I have an egg allergy and can only tolerate 1-2 eggs in baked goods, but really want to make these, is there a good substitution? I typically use apple sauce to replace 1 or 2 eggs at the most, but that is a lot of eggs to replace.
I would do 2 eggs and then try adding "flax eggs" to replace the remaining.
Do you think this would work with flax eggs ?
I haven’t tried them with a flax egg! It might work! Report back if you do, please!
I love this recipe. I wish it had the nutritional facts though!
I’m so glad! I am working my way through my older recipes (like this one) and updating them with nutritional info. I’ll try to get to it soon
