Sugar free Sweet potato, date and chocolate chip muffins

I love sweet potatoes yet had never thought I would be baking muffins out of sweet potatoes. These are whole wheat muffins with absolutely no sugar.

Ingredients:

1 ¼ cup whole wheat flour

4 small organic sweet potatoes boiled and mashed

10/11 medjool dates (paste)

½ cup fresh orange juice

¼ cup milk

½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips

2 tsps cocoa powder (sugar free)

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

Pinch of salt

2 tsp cinnamon powder

1 organic brown egg

2 tsp clarified butter

Method:

Pre-heat the oven to 400 F.

In a bowl, take the whole wheat flour and add salt, cinnamon powder, cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder and keep aside.

In a different mixing bowl, put the melted clarified butter or ghee and start beating it with a hand mixer. Add the egg and continue beating. Now add the mashed sweet potato in the bowl and beat while adding the date paste. Once this is mixed well, add the orange juice and continue beating. Slowly, add the dry ingredients little by little and continue beating. The batter should be thin and if it is not, add the milk to the batter. Lastly, add the chocolate chips and give it a final whisk.

Pour the batter in a well-greased muffin tray or cake pan. Place it in the pre-heated oven and bake till about 20 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check with the cake is done well. Let it cool on a wire rack.
