Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (about 1 medium sweet potato)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel, chop, and boil the sweet potato until tender. Mash until smooth and let cool.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat together the brown sugar, oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Add the mashed sweet potatoes and mix well.
  • Combine Ingredients: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Bake: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

You can substitute whole wheat flour for a portion of the all-purpose flour for added fiber. Adding chopped nuts or raisins can enhance the texture and flavor of the muffins. These muffins freeze well, making them a convenient make-ahead option for busy mornings.
