02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Get a muffin tin ready by either greasing the cups or lining them with paper liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, and cinnamon. In another bowl, mix the sweet potatoes, oil, honey, grated carrots, eggs, and brown sugar until everything is well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently stir until just mixed—don’t overdo it. Scoop the batter into the muffin cups, filling them up about three-quarters full. Pop the tray into the oven and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool a bit before digging in!
