Ingredients

• ½ cup mashed orange sweet potato
• ⅓ cup plus 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• ¼ cup coconut sugar
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 cups gluten free oat flour
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ cup chopped pecans
• 1 cup mashed white sweet potato
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons almond milk

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a cupcake pan with nonstick liners.
2. In a bowl, stir together all of the wet ingredients. Add in the dry ingredients and mix well to combine. Divide the batter between the cups and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
3. Once the cupcakes are cooled. Add all the frosting ingredients into a blender. Blend until smooth, adding a third tablespoon of almond milk, if needed. Spread the frosting onto each cupcake. Top with extra chopped pecans, if desired.
