My first two vegan thanksgivings I missed the turkey, I tried store bought holiday roasts and while some of them are pretty good. Nothing beats making your own and knowing exactly what’s in the food you’re eating. These Sweet Potato Muffins are tasty and hearty, and sure to be a hit.
You can use a food processor or a high speed blender to process the almonds. Leave it a little coarsely ground, not too fine.
Use a little bit of coconut oil to grease the muffin pan, to ensure that when they are done, they will come out easily.
Serve them with your favorite gravy or sauce, I like to use my Vegan Mushroom Gravy to serve them with, it has smoked paprika and fresh herbs, with lots of hearty mushrooms.
