  • 1 ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) melted coconut oil (plus extra for greasing muffin tin)

  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom.
  5. In a large bowl, mix the coconut oil, vanilla, and flax eggs together. Stir in coconut sugar and mashed sweet potatoes until blended.
  6. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  7. Using a spoon divide batter into the 12 muffin cups.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle of the largest muffin comes out clean.

Notes

If you don't need to make it Gluten free you can add 1 cup plain and 3/4 cup wholemeal (you can use all plain flour too) you’ll need extra liquid to loosen the batter. I used oat milk, but you can use normal. Also I added 1tbsp of cider vinegar to the wet ingredients so it reacts with the raising agents, before mixing it with the dry ingredients. I also added chopped walnuts and a vegan hazelnut chocolate drizzle Really recommend ...they went down well!
