Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Whole Wheat Mini Muffins Recipes

HEALTHY CHOCOLATE CHIP SWEET POTATO MUFFINS

Steps:

• To roast the sweet potatoes: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Poke holes in sweet potatoes with a fork and place sweet potatoes on baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until fork tender, depending on the size of your potatoes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes then remove skin and mash out exactly 1 ½ cups of the sweet potato. Do not use more than that.
• Reduce heat in oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with liners and spray the inside of them with nonstick cooking spray -- DO NOT SKIP THIS.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
• In a separate large bowl mix together mashed sweet potato, eggs, maple syrup, oil, vanilla, greek yogurt and almond milk until well combined, smooth and creamy.
• Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in ½ cup chocolate chips.
• Divide batter evenly into muffin liners, top each with a few chocolate chips, and bake for 25-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
• Cool muffins for 5 minutes then remove and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Muffins are best served warm and even better the next day. I like serving mine with a little nut butter on top.

KIDS CAN BAKE: SWEET POTATO-CHOCOLATE CHIP MINI MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the cups of two 24-cup mini muffin tins with cooking spray.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking soda and chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Whisk together the butter, sugar, sweet potato, sour cream and egg in a large bowl until well mixed. Fold the flour mixture into the sweet potato mixture, and stir until just combined (it's OK if there are some lumps).
• Fill each muffin cup with a generous tablespoon of batter. Bake until the muffins have pulled away from the sides of the tins and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 12 to 16 minutes. Tip the muffins out onto a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Evenly divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups and sprinkle the tops with the oats. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of each muffin comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Allow to cool slightly on a rack.
