I love a good muffin, but sometimes good grain free recipes are hard to find. This one came about on a fluke from playing around in the kitchen. Gluten free baking can be really tough, but I’m proud of these muffins. They go great with Creamy Cauliflower Soup or they can be enjoyed solo. They’re savory with a little bit of sweet and they’re the perfect side dish for many fall inspired recipes.
Ingredients: Makes 8 Muffins
- ¾ cup sweet potato puree
For the Sweet Potato Puree
Simply roast your potato at 350 F until soft (I ended up needing about half a potato). Once cool, scoop the flesh (no skin) into a food processor and process until smooth. Now you have your sweet potato puree!
- 4 eggs
- ¼ cup melted butter
- ¾ cup sweet potato puree
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 ½ tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tsp fresh sage, finely chopped
- ¾ cup blanched almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon (from 4 strips of uncured Turkey Bacon)
- ½ cup dried cranberries
Steps
1. Preheat your oven to 350 F. Lightly grease 8 cups of a muffin pan with butter.
2. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Add the melted butter, sweet potato puree and olive oil.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the herbs, almond and coconut flours, baking powder and salt.
4. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until combined.
5. Gently fold in the bacon and cranberries.
6. Add a few heaping spoonfuls of batter to each muffin cup, dividing the batter evenly amongst all 8 cups.
7. Bake at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm with butter.
