Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup Pamela's baking and pancake mix
  • ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour mix
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • teaspoon sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup milk or unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • cup granulated sugar
  • cup brown sugar, lightly packed
  • ¾ cup cooked mashed sweet potato
  • cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a muffin tin with paper liners or parchment and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients, including Pamela's mix, gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together wet ingredients, including milk, butter, coconut oil, eggs, vanilla, both sugars and mashed sweet potato.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the middle of the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Gently stir in chocolate chips.
  • Fill the prepared muffin tin until the cups are ¾ full and bake for 22-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
  • Store muffins at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or carefully wrap and freeze up to 3 months.

Notes

    • Can I use vegetable oil instead? Yes, you can substitute vegetable oil in place of the melted butter and coconut oil.
    • Can I use canned sweet potato? Yes, I prefer to roast and mash my own, but canned will work too. You can also substitute cooked and mashed yams.
    • Where do I find Pamela’s Baking and Pancake Mix? I picked mine up in the health food aisle of our local grocery store. It's also available to order from Amazon.
    • Can I use regular all-purpose flour? Yes, use 1½ cups instead of Pamela's and GF flour mix.
    • I recommend using paper or parchment liners instead of simply spraying your muffin tin.
