Ingredients
- 0.5 tsp 100ml Ice Pop Moulds
- 2 tbsp Coconut Oil melted
- 2 tsp Dr. Oetker Baking Powder
- 0.5 tsp Dr. Oetker Madagascan Vanilla Extract
- 1 - Eggs
- 0.5 tsp Five Spice Powder
- 2 tbsp Greek Yoghurt
- 0.5 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 55 g Light Brown Sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 220 g SuperValu Wholemeal Flour
- 400 g Sweet Potatoes (2 medium potatoes)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F).
- First, cook the sweet potatoes in a microwave until soft, turning every few minutes – this will take approx 9 minutes. When cooked, cut them in half, and set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, combine the wholemeal flour, Baking Powder, light brown sugar, spices, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Mix well.
- When the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh, and add it to a separate bowl. Mash thoroughly, and add the melted coconut oil, egg, Greek yogurt, and Madagascan Vanilla Extract. Mix well.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients, and carefully mix until well combined.
- Place 10 muffin cases in a muffin tray, and lightly brush them with oil. Divide the muffin mixture evenly between the 10 cases.
- Bake for around 35 minutes, until fairly firm, and browned on top. Leave to cool on a rack before serving.
(Hint) To cut down on preparation time, use leftover sweet potatoes from the previous night’s dinner.
