Superfood Purple Sweet Potato Longevity Muffins (Gluten-Free!)

Jump to Recipe

taste

these muffins are sweet, cozy, and a little deliciously earthy from the roasted purple sweet potato.

the banana adds natural sweetness, while honey or maple syrup ties everything together.

the frosting brings a creamy, dreamy finish that’s lightly sweet and adds even more purple color—almost like dessert but made with nourishing ingredients.

texture

the muffins are soft and fluffy with just the right amount of moisture.

blending the sweet potato, banana, eggs, and cottage cheese into a smooth base keeps the crumb tender and uniform, while the oat and almond flours give them structure.

the frosting is silky and whipped-like thanks to the cottage cheese (or cream cheese), making these feel decadent yet wholesome.

why they’re so healthy (and why i call them longevity muffins)

purple sweet potatoes are known for their antioxidants, fiber, and slow-digesting carbs.

these nutrients are often highlighted in “blue zone” style eating, where longevity is a focus.

pairing them with banana adds potassium and natural sweetness.

eggs and cottage cheese give a protein boost, helping with satiety and blood sugar balance.

chia seeds are another superfood here—they’re loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and minerals that support heart, brain, and gut health.

oat flour brings whole-grain benefits and extra fiber, while almond flour adds healthy fats.

the frosting itself is a nourishing twist—using purple sweet potato, cottage cheese or cream cheese, honey, and vanilla, so you’re getting protein and antioxidants even in the topping.

these are muffins you can feel really good about eating any time of day.

substitutions

• swap cottage cheese for farmer’s cheese or cream cheese in the frosting depending on what you have.
• maple syrup and honey are interchangeable.
• dairy-free yogurt or blended silken tofu can replace cottage cheese in the muffins if needed.
• add-ins like chocolate chips, pumpkin seeds, or dried cranberries make them even more fun.

storage

store the muffins unfrosted in an airtight container at room temperature for 1–2 days, then move to the fridge for up to 5 days.

once frosted, keep them in the fridge and enjoy within 4–5 days. they also freeze beautifully—wrap unfrosted muffins individually and thaw before frosting or eating.
