What you'll need

For the muffins:
  • 210 g gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon xanthan gum (omit if your flour blend contains it)
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 200 g light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs , room temperature
  • 80 ml avocado oil (or neutral oil of choice)
  • 240 ml sweet potato puree
  • 80 ml milk (coconut milk)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
For the glaze (optional):
  • 60 ml marshmallow fluff
  • ¼ – ½ teaspoon milk or water

Method:

 

  • Preheat the oven to 200°c and line a standard muffin tin with 12 paper liners or spray generously with gluten-free non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, xanthan gum, bicarbonate of soda, salt, cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, oil, sweet potato purée, milk, vanilla, and vinegar. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until completely combined.
  • Transfer the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cases. Bake for 16-18 minutes or until baked through.
  • Cool the muffins for 5 minutes in the pan and then transfer to a cooling rack. Cool completely before adding the glaze.
  • To make the glaze, mix the marshmallow fluff and ¼ teaspoon milk or water together in a small bowl. Add an additional ¼ teaspoon liquid if the marshmallow isn't thin enough to drizzle from a spoon. Drizzle the marshmallow glaze over the muffins before serving.
  • Store the muffins at room temperature in an air tight container for up to 3 days.
  • Note: To freeze, cool the muffins to room temperature and skip the glaze. Once cool, transfer the muffins to a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost at room temperature before eating.
