Easy Muffins … Made with Sweet Potatoes!
These sweet potato muffins are super soft and tender in the interior with slight chewiness around the edges. They’re springy, moist, and accidentally vegan but you’d never guess it. I adapted the my Mini Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins recipe which has been a favorite of mine over the years because the results always taste fabulous. Here I used sweet potato rather than pumpkin, increased the amount of milk since sweet potato is drier than canned pumpkin puree, reduced the flour (again because it’s drier), reduced the sugar because it’s naturally sweeter than pumpkin, and swapped canola/vegetable oil for coconut oil. Mini muffins are so easy to eat, one after the other. Just ask my daughter who came home from school and ate 10 muffins while I was at yoga.
