Ingredients:

For the muffin:

• 1 1/4 cup old fashioned oats
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp cloves
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 3/4 cup coconut sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 cup mashed sweet potato
• 1/4 cup Ground Up Salted Eggnog Nut Butter
• 3/4 cup eggnog
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the glaze:

• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp Ground Up Salted Eggnog Nut Butter
• 1/3 cup turbinado sugar
• 1/4 cup spiced rum

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Combine oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon in a bowl.
3. In a separate bowl combine oil, sugar, egg, mashed sweet potato, nut butter, eggnog and vanilla extract.
4. Then blend the wet mixture in a blender until smooth.
5. Pour wet mixture into the dry and mix until just combined.
6. Use a mini bunt muffin tin to cook muffins. (Spray with non-stick spray before use and fill each muffin mold to about 1-2 cm from the top.)
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Remove muffins from the oven and while hot press down the muffin tops to make them flat.
8. Once cooled, remove muffins from pan and set aside.
9. Now time to make the glaze: Mix oil, sugar and nut butter in a pot. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling and ingredients well incorporated, turn off the heat and add the rum and stir until combined. Take each bunt muffin and dip into the glaze and put them to the side so the glaze can set up and dry (if you can wait that long), then enjoy!
