Description

This is my recreation of the delicious muffins, voted best in Toronto, from a bakery in Kensington Market in Toronto. They're vegan, made with spelt, and absolutely delicious!

Ingredients
  • ½ sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 ½ cups spelt flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • ½ cup sunflower seed oil
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ⅓ cup chopped pitted dates
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
  2. 2. Place diced sweet potato into a small pan with enough water to cover, bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain sweet potato; set aside to cool.
  3. 3. Whisk together spelt flour, oats, baking soda, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir together bananas, oil, and sugar in a separate bowl.
  4. 4. Stir banana mixture into spelt mixture just until dry ingredients are moistened; fold in dates and sweet potato. Divide mixture evenly into 12 muffin cups.
  5. 5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 minutes; remove to cool completely on a wire rack.
