Instructions
- Combine softened cream cheese, cinnamon and 1.5 tablespoons of the maple syrup for the icing. Stir until smooth and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 180C. Line a muffin tray with 12 paper liners.
- Steam sweet potato until very soft. Drain, cool slightly and mash well with a fork.
- Whisk remaining maple syrup, coconut oil and milk into mashed sweet potato until smooth. Whisk in eggs. Add flour and baking powder and fold to just combine.
- Divide batter into lined muffin tins, bake for 18-22 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Turn out and cool completely on a wire rack, when cool spread each muffin with 1 tablespoon of the pre-prepared cream cheese frosting.
- One muffin with cream cheese frosting is one serve. Store leftover cream cheese mix and muffins in airtight containers in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze muffins individually to defrost and reheat as required.
