Made with 12 ingredients and naturally colored with purple sweet potato, these Purple Sweet Potato Muffin Tops are a fun breakfast, snack, or dessert. They can be made without any muffin pan – making them an easy and portable treat for Halloween.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Almond flour
  • 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/3 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 Egg
  • 2/3 cup or approximately 1/2 of a medium purple sweet potato* baked
  • 3 Tbsp. Almond milk
  • 2 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp. Halloween sprinkles (optional)

Purple Icing (optional)

  • 1 Tbsp. baked and mashed purple sweet potato
  • 1 Tbsp. Almond Milk
  • 14 cup Powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Gather the 11 ingredients.
  • Add the dry ingredients such as the almond flour, the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar to a medium bowl and mix them with a spoon.
  • Then, add in the wet ingredients such as the egg, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Mash the baked purple sweet potato well and add that to the muffin top batter. This muffin top batter will be very thick.
  • Then, using a spoon, scoop spoonfuls of the thick batter, dividing the batter into 4 muffin top mounds. This can be easily done with the back of a spoon.
  • Sprinkle on some festive sprinkles like some eyeball sprinkles or any Halloween sprinkles you have.
  • Then, bake these in an oven that has been preheated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, for 20-22 minutes, until the muffin tops are firm.
  • Once baked, these can be cooled on a wire rack and eaten.
  • Or, they can be drizzled with an icing that is also naturally colored with purple sweet potato.

Making the (optional) Purple Icing

  • Make the icing by mashing a spoonful of purple sweet potato with some almond milk.
  • Then, strain the purple almond milk.
  • Add in some powdered sugar to the strained purple almond milk and mixed it until it is not runny and at a ribbon-like consistency.
  • Then, drizzle this purple icing onto the muffin tops and added more Halloween sprinkles.

Notes

*To bake the purple sweet potato, wash it and wrap it, with its skin on, in aluminum foil. Preheat an oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the purple sweet potato in it for 50-55 minutes, until the purple sweet potato is soft.
