Gluten Free Sweet Potato and Mâche Muffins

These naturally gluten-free, refined-sugar-free muffins with sweet potato and mâche are super easy, healthy, hearty and delicious! They make for a great breakfast or snack you can feel great about eating. If you can't find mâche, then use spinach or arugula instead. To make this recipe dairy free, replace Greek yoghurt with coconut yoghurt. Keep in mind that the key to light and tender muffins is not to overmix the batter – just a few quick folds to get everything combined. Enjoy them while still warm, and store the rest in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.

Dry Ingredients	Wet Ingredients
150 g Sweet potato, peeled and coarsely grated 160 g Buckwheat flour, sifted 100 g Oat flour 2 tsp Baking powder 1 tsp Ground ginger 1/4 tsp Sea salt 30 g Pumpkin seeds (or rolled oats), for the topping	3 Medium eggs, at room-temperature 60 g Mâche (or spinach / arugula) 5 Soft dates, pitted 180 g Greek-style yoghurt, full fat 125 ml Olive oil 2 tsp Lemon zest

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Grease a 12-hole muffin tin (or 8 jumbo muffin cups) and line it with baking parchment or paper muffin cases.
Peel and roughly grate the sweet potato. Place them in a large bowl along with the rest of the dry ingredients. Stir together, make a well in the middle and set aside.
Crack the eggs into a food processor, add the mâche along with the rest of the wet ingredients and blend until completely smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the well of the dry ingredients, gently fold together, making sure not to overmix, or the muffins will turn out tough.
Divide the muffin batter into the prepared tin and top each muffin with some pumpkin seeds. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and a skewer inserted in the middle of one of the muffins comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoying while still warm!
