Cinnamon Raisin Sweet Potato Muffins

Thanks to Bob’s Red Mill for sponsoring this post. 

Hi friends!

I’ve got a brand new muffin recipe for you and I’m SUPER excited about it. Cinnamon Raisin Sweet Potato Muffins! As you guys know, we’re huge muffin lovers around here. I make a batch every weekend and I’m starting to stock my freezer with them as well for when the baby comes. I love them because they’re great for breakfast or snack time and they can easily be packed in a lunchbox or taken in the car to eat on the way to school on a busy morning.

Cinnamon Raisin Sweet Potato Muffins made with Bob's Red Mill Oat Flour

I wanted to come up with a new flavor combination that I hadn’t shared on the blog yet. (You can see all of my muffin recipes here) I also knew I wanted to make it nut-free so that it would be safe for school lunchboxes!

When Bob’s Red Mill reached out to me to develop a recipe using some of their products, I immediately jumped on board because, spoiler, I already use and love so many of them!! I love their Ivory Wheat Flour (their version of white whole wheat flour) and their super-fine almond flour. Plus we use their farro all the time for dinner and they have so many delicious seeds like chia seeds, hemp hearts and pumpkin seeds which are great for mixing into oatmeal, energy balls and baked goods. And their oatmeal cups are perfect for breakfast when traveling!

For this recipe, I tested out a couple new-to-me Bob’s Red Mill products: the Gluten-free Oat Flour which is whole grain and perfect for baking and the Golden Flaxseed Meal, which I’ve been adding to everything lately for an extra dose of omega 3’s, fiber and protein.

All Bob’s Red Mill products are minimally processed and Non-GMO and then have hundreds of products to fit specific dietary needs like vegan, paleo or gluten-free. So be sure to check out their website if you haven’t already!

Cinnamon Raisin Sweet Potato Muffins (nut-free)

As for the rest of the ingredients, I added sweet potato to help keep them moist, maple syrup and cinnamon for some fall flavors and raisins because my kids are obsessed with them.

These muffins took 6 rounds of trial and error but the end result is so worth it! Here’s how you make them:

    Hey there. It says “add egg” but I don’t see eggs in the ingredient list. Is it just one egg? I’m currently right in the middle of making these 🙂
