Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and place them on a parchment-lined tray. Bake for 45-50 minutes until completely soft. Let them cool, peel off the skin, and mash the flesh until smooth
Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard muffin tin with a small amount of coconut oil or use silicone liners
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of the roasted sweet potato mash, maple syrup, avocado oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth
In a separate smaller bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix
Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Bake for 22-25 minutes
Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, your muffins are done
Let the muffins sit in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely

Notes

Store cooked muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or refrigerate for up to a week.
