  • 1/3 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 Egg
  • 2/3 cup or approximately 1/2 of a medium purple sweet potato* (baked)
  • 3 Tbsp. Almond milk

  • 1 Tbsp. Halloween sprinkles (optional)
  • 1 Tbsp. baked and mashed purple sweet potato
  • 1 Tbsp. Almond Milk
  • 14 cup Powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Gather the 11 ingredients.

  3. 3

    Add the dry ingredients such as the almond flour, the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar to a medium bowl and mix them with a spoon.

  4. 4

    Then, add in the wet ingredients such as the egg, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix well.

  5. 5

    Mash the baked purple sweet potato well and add that to the muffin top batter. This muffin top batter will be very thick.

  6. 6

    Then, using a spoon, scoop spoonfuls of the thick batter, dividing the batter into 4 muffin top mounds. This can be easily done with the back of a spoon.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle on some festive sprinkles like some eyeball sprinkles or any Halloween sprinkles you have.

  8. 8

    Then, bake these in an oven that has been preheated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, for 20-22 minutes, until the muffin tops are firm.

  9. 9

    Once baked, these can be cooled on a wire rack and eaten.

  10. 10

    Or, they can be drizzled with an icing that is also naturally colored with purple sweet potato.

  11. 11

    Making the (optional) Purple Icing

  12. 12

    Make the icing by mashing a spoonful of purple sweet potato with some almond milk.

  13. 13

    Then, strain the purple almond milk.

  14. 14

    Add in some powdered sugar to the strained purple almond milk and mixed it until it is not runny and at a ribbon-like consistency.

  15. 15

    Then, drizzle this purple icing onto the muffin tops and added more Halloween sprinkles.
