Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Sweet potatoes (cooked and mashed)
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar (packed)
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the wells with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogenous.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 6

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful breakfast, snack, or dessert. These muffins pair wonderfully with butter or a drizzle of maple syrup!
