  • 1 ¾ cup whole wheat pastry flour

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a muffin tin with coconut oil.
  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, sucanat, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the sweet potato, milk, coconut oil, and cinnamon extract.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined. Do not over mix.
  • Gently fold in the dried cranberries.
  • Fill each space in the muffin pan ⅔ full.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan and placing on a cooling rack.

Notes

*To make sweet potato purée, take a large sweet potato (or several small ones) and poke them all over with a fork. Wrap them in aluminum foil and bake at 400°F until tender (about 45 minutes for a large one). Remove skin and mash the sweet potato. Then transfer it to a food processor and blend until smooth.
I find it helpful to grind the sucanat in a coffee grinder before using to make it less gritty.
