It's All Good
Gluten-free baking is not for the faint of heart. at first as we tested this recipe, we produced heavy or bizarrely textured muffins, but we finally hit the nail on the head with the perfect mix of ingredients. these muffins are super-tasty and are always a smashing success in my house.

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Prick the sweet potato a few times with a paring knife or a fork. Bake until soft (when a paring knife can cut through with zero resistance), about 1 hour. set the sweet potato aside until it’s completely cool.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potato, discard the skin, and mash the flesh in a mixing bowl with a fork. Whisk the olive oil, almond milk, maple syrup or xylitol, and vanilla into the sweet potato. in a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, five-spice powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
Step 3
Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and evenly distribute the muffin batter among the cups.
Step 4
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean, brushing the tops with the extra maple syrup during the last 5 minutes of baking. let the muffins cool before serving.
