Gluten Free Disappearing Sweet Potato Muffins

Recipe #302847 | 40 min | 10 min prep | 12 muffins (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: SWalker

This is a conversion of Recipe # 161227. I cut the sugar back to 1 cup to make them and I still found them sweet so next time I'll be cutting it back to the 3/4 cup listed. I you don't love the flavour and can't put your finger on it it's the quinoa. I'd replace it with more brown rice flour or sorghum if you don't like it. I grind the walnuts because we don't like them, but they are a superfood.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup brown rice flour
  • 1/4 cup sorghum
  • 1/4 cup quinoa, ground
  • 1/2 cup almond, toasted and ground
  • 1/2 cup tapioca starch
  • teaspoon guar gum
  • teaspoons baking powder
  • teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • cups raw sweet potato, peeled and shredded (about 1 medium)
  • 1/2 cup raisins (soaked in boiling water) (optional)
  • 1/2-1 cup walnut (optional)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup oil (I used coconut)
  • teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 egg, room temperature
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Whisk together the brown rice flour, sorghum, tapioca starch, guar gum, baking powder, spices, salt and grated sweet potato. Toast the almonds in a dry stainless steel pan until you can smell them (about 5 minutes stirring often). Grind the almonds and quinoa. Mix well with dry ingredients until there are no lumps.
    2. 2
      In a medium bowl melt coconut oil if you are using whisk in sugar, vanilla and eggs (if coconut oil is too hot it will cook the eggs so do them separately if you use coconut oil).
    3. 3
      Mix wet ingredients into the dry and fold in the walnuts and drained raisins if you're using them.
    4. 4
      Let dough sit for 30 minutes to allow guar gum to set.
    5. 5
      If you use an ice-cream scoop you can cook these on a cookie tray covered with parchment because they don't spread much.
    6. 6
      Cook in a 350 degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean.
