Many of you have enjoyed our Sweet Potato Almond Butter Muffins, but asked if they could be made gluten-free.

We thought so, but we knew they’d need a few tweaks. Spoiler alert: Major success!

These revamped sweet potato muffins are gluten-free, naturally sweetened, oil-free, and require just 10 ingredients to prepare. Let’s bake!

These start with roasting a sweet potato, peeling off the skin, and then mashing it to make a purée.

The purée is mixed with maple syrup for sweetness, almond butter for richness, and an egg to provide a nice fluffy texture.

Dairy-free milk is added to thin the batter, baking powder to help the muffins rise, and pumpkin pie spice for a boost of flavor.

We’ve found that when baking with gluten-free flours, it’s typically best to use a mix of different flours to achieve the ideal texture and flavor. So in this recipe, we use our DIY gluten-free blend, almond flour, and oat flour to achieve that balance.

Then simply add batter to baking cups and top each with a swirl of almond butter. We’re drooling already.

We hope you LOVE these muffins! They’re:



Fluffy

Flavorful

Perfectly spiced

Rich in beta-carotene (that makes vitamin A!)

& Incredibly delicious
