For the Muffins
- 1 3/4 cups 237g gluten-free flour (see notes)
- 3/4 teaspoon 3g xanthan gum - omit if your flour blend contains it
- 1 teaspoon 5g baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon 3g fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon 3g ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup chopped pecans omit for nut-free
- 1 cup 200g light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1/3 cup avocado oil or neutral oil of choice
- 1 cup sweet potato purée
- 1/3 cup milk regular or unsweetened coconut milk beverage
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
For the Glaze (optional)
- 1/4 cup Marshmallow Fluff or Marshmallow Creme
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon milk or water
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a standard muffin tin with 12 paper liners or spray generously with non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Whisk in the chopped pecans if using then set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, oil, sweet potato purée, milk, vanilla extract, and vinegar. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until completely combined.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and distribute them evenly between the 12 muffin cups. Bake the muffins at 400 degrees for 16-18 minutes or until baked through.
Cool the muffins for 5 minutes in the pan and then transfer to a cooling rack. Cool completely before adding the glaze.
To make the glaze, mix the marshmallow fluff and 1/4 teaspoon milk or water together in a small bowl. Add an additional 1/4 teaspoon liquid if the marshmallow isn't thin enough to drizzle from a spoon. Drizzle the marshmallow glaze over the muffins before serving.
Store the muffins at room temperature in an air-tight container for up to 3 days. See notes for freezing instructions.
- I used my nightshade-free gluten-free flour blend in this recipe. If your gluten-free flour blend contains xanthan gum, omit what I called for in the recipe.
- To freeze: Cool the muffins to room temperature and skip the glaze. Once cool, transfer the muffins to a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost at room temperature before eating.
