Sweet Potato Muffins are a delicious and nutritious treat that combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. These muffins are perfect for breakfast, snacks, or even as a healthy dessert option, packed with vitamins and flavor.

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (cooked)
  2. 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
  3. 1/2 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
  4. 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  5. 1/4 cup butter (or coconut oil, melted)
  6. 2 large eggs
  7. 1 tsp vanilla extract
  8. 1 tsp baking powder
  9. 1 tsp baking soda
  10. 1/2 tsp salt
  11. 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  12. 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  13. 1/4 tsp ground ginger

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

  1. Whisk the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Spoon into muffin tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  5. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  1. For a vegan option, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use coconut oil for the fat.
  2. For a less sweet muffin, reduce the sugar or swap it for a natural sweetener like stevia.
  3. If you prefer a spiced-up version, you can add other spices like cloves or cardamom.
