Sweet Potato Muffins

I puree organic fruit and vegetables for my baby and I'm always trying to think of ways to use the extra puree. These Sweet Potato Chip Muffins are a hit with my 3 year old and my husband.


Sweet Potato Muffins
Adapted from Weelicious

1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup old fashioned oats
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 large eggs, whisked
1 cup sweet potato puree*
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup apple sauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Place the first 7 dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine.
In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients.
Slowly combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients just until they are combined.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Fill greased muffin pan and bake for 15 minutes or until cooked through.

* To make sweet potato puree, I boil chunks of peeled sweet potato until they are tender. Drain, let cool and then puree in a blender or food processor, adding water to get the desired consistency.
