Yield

10 Servings

Ingredients

1 cup cornmeal
1⁄2 cup flour, millet
1⁄4 cup flour, sorghum
1⁄4 cup flour, brown rice
1⁄2 cup sugar
1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
1 teaspoon cloves, ground
3 egg
3⁄4 cup sweet potato
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350º.

If you are making the sweet potato puree from scratch, slice the sweet potatoes into wedges ¼” thick. Coat the sweet potatoes with olive oil in a bowl and season with a little bit of salt.  Bake in oven for 45-50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes.  Let cool and puree in a food processor by slowly adding two tablespoons of water or more until the mixture blends easily.    

Mix the puree with the other wet ingredients. 

In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Add this into the wet mixture and stir well or use a hand blender.  

Spoon out into regular-sized muffin tins, filling the cups about ¾ full. Bake for 20 minutes or until the muffins are dark on the outside and a knife comes out clean. Remove from pan and let cool.
