For an enhanced flavor, consider toasting the pecans lightly before chopping. Ensure the sweet potato is fully cooked before blending for a smooth batter. Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside. Pierce sweet potato with a fork 6-8 times and microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes, or until tender.
02
StepIn a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of brown sugar, chopped pecans, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Mix until moistened and crumbly. Set aside to create the streusel topping.
03
StepIn a separate small bowl, whisk together flour, remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside as the dry ingredient mixture.
04
StepCarefully scoop out the flesh of the cooked sweet potato and place it in a blender. Add almond milk, egg, and the remaining 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Blend until smooth.
05
StepAdd the dry ingredients to the sweet potato mixture in the blender. Blend until just moistened, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even mixing.
06
StepEvenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle the pecan streusel mixture over the top of each muffin.
07
StepBake for 20 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
