- 1 1/2 cup oat flour (or whole wheat flour)
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 4 tablespoons coconut sugar (or raw sugar or Stevia)
- Wet
- 1 whole egg
- 1 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- Extras
- 246g mashed sweet potato (roughly a medium-sized sweet potato)
- 4 slices turkey or center-cut pork bacon (nitrate-free, uncured)
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese**
- 1/3 cup chopped green onion**
- 1 chopped jalapeño (seeds removed)**
Steps
Step 1
Peel a raw sweet potato and chop it into large pieces. In a small pot add about 2 inches of water and bring it to a simmer. Add the raw chunks of sweet potato to a steamer (or metal) basket and steam the sweet potato until soft. Alternatively, you can bake a medium sweet potato then peel it.
Step 2
Mash the cooked sweet potato with a fork and set it aside.
Step 3
Cook your choice of bacon
Step 4
Mix together all of the dry ingredients into a bowl using a fork.
Step 5
In a separate larger bowl, beat together the wet ingredients. Slowly stir in the dry ingredients using a spatula. Then, fold in any of the “extra” ingredients using a spatula. Ensure the batter is completely mixed but be careful not to over-mix the ingredients.
Step 6
Spray a muffin mold with cooking spray or coconut oil, then evenly divide the mixture among the molds.
Step 7
Bake for 15 minutes at 400F or until you can pierce the muffins with a toothpick and it comes out clean.
