Easy grain-free chai spiced sweet potato muffins recipe.

This delicious grain-free sweet potato muffins recipe is made with almond flour and flavored with chai spices. The muffins are gluten-free and dairy-free as well.

Sweet potatoes pair well with the spices in traditional Masala chai which include cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. The combination creates a sweet and spicy muffin. I topped the muffins with chopped pecans to add a little crunch.

Since sweet potatoes are naturally sweet, I was able to get away with using less of the sweeteners in this recipe. I used honey and coconut sugar to sweeten the muffins. If you wish you can use any 1 for 1 sugar substitute in place of the coconut sugar. I like Just Like Sugar which uses chickory root as the sweetener.  Some people prefer Swerve which uses Erythritol as the sweetener. Monkfruit also works well. You can find these sugar substitutes at your local health store, but all of these sweeteners can usually be found for less at Thrive Market, so do a little comparison shopping before you make your purchase.

How to Make Sweet Potato Puree

You can sometimes find canned sweet potato puree in your local grocery stores. If you don’t have canned sweet potato in your area, you can bake a sweet potato, and then scoop out the sweet potato and mash it. You can also steam the sweet potatoes to make potato puree.

How to Bake Sweet Potatoes

  1. Preheat the oven to 400° F.
  2. Pierce the sweet potato with a fork and place it on a baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 45 minutes, or until fork tender.
  4. Scoop the sweet potato meat out of the skin and into a bowl. Then mash with a fork.

How to Steam Sweet Potatoes

  1. Peel and cut the sweet potato into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Pour 2 inches of water into the bottom of a pot.
  3. Heat the water to boiling.
  4. Once boiling, add the sweet potato pieces to a steamer basket. Place the basket in the pot and steam for 7 minutes.
  5. Transfer the sweet potato to a bowl and mash with a fork.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
