Mini Muffins
makes about 34 mini ones or 12 regular.
3/4 cup Sweet potato or Pumpkin puree
3/4 cup Dates- sugar (1/2 cup Date puree)
¼ cup Orange juice- fresh, no pulp
1 Tbsp Coconut oil
¼ tsp Sea salt
1 tsp Baking powder
1 Tbsp Cinnamon- ground
1 cup Carrot or Sweet Potato- skinless, grated
2 cups Oats – quick cooking
2 Eggs- lightly whisked
1/3 cup Cranberries- fresh, frozen or dried (sweetened w/apple juice)
Method:
Preheat oven to 350F and line muffin tray with paper liners.
In one bowl, combine sweet potato puree, date sugar/puree, orange juice, sea salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and coconut oil. Mix until well combined.
Then mix in grated carrot and oats until well combined. Make a little well in the center of the batter and whisk in the eggs lightly. Once whisked, gently combine the batter and eggs- almost like a folding technique. The batter is a thick and wet consistency. Make sure that everything is well combined but don’t over do it.
Scoop mixture into lined muffin baking tray. They don’t rise/expand very much so they will hold whatever shape they are place in. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until tops/edges are golden and it feels firm. If you are making regular sized muffins, it will take about 20-25 minutes. Store in an air tight container in the fridge for up to a week.
