Directions:
First, preheat the oven to 180 ℃. Take a muffin tray and spray it with coconut oil.
Next, prepare a large bowl and mix spelt flour with baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and apple cider vinegar.
Mix peeled roasted sweet potatoes, water, maple syrup, and the inside of the vanilla pods in another bowl. If you do not have vanilla pods, you can use vanilla flavor drops or omit them altogether. Start slowly mixing this mixed mass into a dry flour mixture. Once you get a soft dough for muffins, divide it into a muffin tray. It should come out for about 12 pieces. Put the tray with the muffins into an oven heated to 180 ℃ and bake for about 20 minutes.
Before the muffins are ready, prepare the caramelized nuts. Heat maple syrup with cinnamon in a small pan and add pecans. Let them caramelize together. Then place the finished caramelized pecans evenly on the baked muffins. Once they cool down, you can enjoy the perfect combination of a soft muffin with crispy caramelized pecans.
Our tip: If you want the nuts in the muffins to hold better, place them on top of the muffins during the baking.
