These herbed sweet potato savory muffins taste perfectly tender and “buttery” even though they’re Paleo and dairy free! Great to accompany any meal or as a snack, and very kid friendly too!
Remember the sweet potato bread I tortured myself with a couple of weeks ago? I said it then and I’ll say it now – the torture was 100% WORTH IT! And why?
Well, because experimenting with that recipe – and all it’s “failures” – led me to really understand how to bake with sweet potatoes of all kinds. YAY! It also laid out the base for this delicious savory muffin recipe, which is out of this world delicious. Said me. And Adam. And each and every child who eats my baked goods. One even said “these taste better than garlic bread.” Bless your soul, Paleo-loving child. You are awesome!
Being that it’s the end of October and all and we’re FINALLY sort of approaching the actual holidays which I’ve been baking for since the summer – I will say this. Okay, I’m going to say it in this sentence: these herbed sweet potato savory muffins are the Paleo answer to your holiday dinner roll problem.
Did your family live on Pillsbury crescent rolls like mine did? Although we literally could not bake a batch without burning the bottoms, we loved them anyway. Passionately. True, those days are gone, and we need a new go-to at the holiday table. Trust me, family who does not eat Paleo – these are gooooooood. And yes, they’re my recipe and mine alone, and no, it’s not rocket science.
Just a whole lot of practice in the kitchen. Many many bags of almond flour, too.
These muffins really couldn’t be easier to make – they’re perfect! If you want to really get wild (oh I know you do!) you can bake a double batch and sub in the second for my Paleo Thanksgiving Stuffing. I’m actually planning to do this myself this year – and of course since I’m totally nuts and obsessed with stuffing, I’m also making my butternut sausage cranberry stuffing alongside it.
Can you tell I’m getting excited for the holidays? If I could clone myself (and my oven, that would help) I’d make 3 types of stuffing and then stuff a few acorn squashes too. I actually didn’t mean to mention the acorn squash (tomorrow’s recipe!) but I’m so happy with how it turned out I’m talking about it in this post.
Anyway! Make the muffins, let me know what you think! Let’s go!
