Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
- 1 tsp Cardamom Powder
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Butter softened, unsalted
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 3/4 cup Potato Puree sweet
- 3/4 cup Jaggery Powder
- 1.5 tbsp Water or milk
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and chop the sweet potato. Steam the sweet potato until tender, about 10 minutes. Steaming preserves the nutrients.
- Puree the steamed sweet potato with a little water or milk until smooth.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cardamom, and cinnamon. Sifting helps aerate the dry ingredients for a lighter muffin.
- In a separate bowl, combine the softened butter, buttermilk, vanilla extract, sweet potato puree, and jaggery powder. Whisk until well combined.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, which can make the muffins tough.
- Fill the lined muffin cups about two-thirds full. Gently tap the tin on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The muffins should be golden brown and spring back when lightly touched.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Sifting flour is essential; do not skip this step.
- Oven temperature and preheating are crucial, especially for eggless baking recipes.
- Use room-temperature ingredients.
- Do not overmix the batter.
- Avoid opening the oven door frequently while baking, as this can cause the cake to sink.
- Always use fresh leaveners, as old baking soda and baking powder can yield poor results.
- To make this recipe with eggs: Add 2 eggs, omit the baking soda, and reduce the buttermilk to 3/4 cup.
- For added moisture and flavor, fold in a handful of raisins, dried cranberries, or chopped dates along with the sweet potato puree.
- For a crunchier top, sprinkle a mixture of chopped nuts and jaggery powder over the batter before baking.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the buttermilk with plant-based milk mixed with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar, and use vegan butter or coconut oil instead of regular butter.
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider toasting the nuts before adding them to the batter or as a topping.
- Don't overfill the muffin tins. Fill them about two-thirds full to allow for proper rising.
- Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, they are ready.
Storage Instructions
- Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Freeze individually wrapped muffins for up to a month. Reheat in the microwave as needed.
