Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato (about 275g), peeled and cut into cubes
- 2 packs Perfectly Ripe Avocados (2 per pack), peeled, stoned and roughly chopped
- 125g ground almonds
- 125g polenta
- 100ml maple syrup
- 4 large free range eggs
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 125ml whole milk
- ¼ tsp salt
- 100g feta, crumbled
- 25g Cooks' Ingredients Chorizo Crumb, or finely diced chorizo
- 25g mixed seeds
- 1 pinch/es smoked paprika
Method
Place the sweet potato in a heatproof bowl, cover with a plate and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, until very soft. Leave to cool.
Preheat the oven to 190°C, gas mark 5. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with muffin cases or 16cm squares of baking parchment.
Place the sweet potato cubes, chopped avocado, almonds, polenta, maple syrup, eggs, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, milk and salt in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Stir in half the feta. Divide the mixture between the muffin cases, then top with the remaining feta, the chorizo crumb, seeds and paprika.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until risen, golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then eat warm, or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Cook’s tip
Simple swap
For a meat-free version, swap the chorizo for the same quantity of finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
