– 1/2 Cup Mashed Sweet Potato
– 1/2 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce
– 1/4 cup (heaping) Coconut flakes
– 1 Tablespoon Honey
– 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
– 1 Large Egg
– 3/4 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
– 2 Tablespoons Oats
Frosting
– 1/2 Cup Peanut Butter
– 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce.
DIRECTIONS
Preheat your oven to 350 Degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato, applesauce, coconut flakes, honey, and coconut oil. Stir that all together until everything is mixed well, then add your egg, whole wheat flour, and your oats. Continue mixing until you have a thick cake like batter. I used mini muffins for this recipe, but you can make regular sized ones as well. Spray your tins with a nonstick spray, and then spoon the batter into the cups. Fill about 3/4 of the way full. These cupcakes don’t rise very much. Bake for 14 – 18 minutes. Use the toothpick trick to make sure they are done. The toothpick will come out clean when they are done. Let them cool, and then frost them! You can keep them in the fridge for up to 3 weeks! Enjoy!
