Ingredients
-
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
Directions
-
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.
Cook's Note:
You can replace the sweet potato and dates with other delicious combinations. Pear and walnut are also a particularly delicious combo.
