Time 50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 ½ cups spelt flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 very ripe bananas, mashed
½ cup sunflower seed oil
½ cup white sugar
⅓ cup chopped pitted dates

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
  • Place diced sweet potato into a small pan with enough water to cover, bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain sweet potato; set aside to cool.
  • Whisk together spelt flour, oats, baking soda, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir together bananas, oil, and sugar in a separate bowl.
  • Stir banana mixture into spelt mixture just until dry ingredients are moistened; fold in dates and sweet potato. Divide mixture evenly into 12 muffin cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 minutes; remove to cool completely on a wire rack.

I didn't have any dates on hand, so I used raisins instead. The muffins still turned out great, although they were a little less sweet.
