Description

These Sweet Potato Muffins are the perfect autumn treat, combining the natural earthiness of mashed sweet potatoes with a generous dose of warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. The batter is incredibly moist, resulting in a tender crumb that holds up well to the addition of plump raisins and crunchy walnuts. A simple topping of cinnamon sugar adds a delightful crunch and extra sweetness to every bite. They are easy to mix up and bake, making them a wonderful option for weekend brunches, holiday gatherings, or as a comforting snack with coffee.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Grease 24 muffin cups or line with paper liners.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together 1 1/4 cups sugar, mashed sweet potatoes, and butter until smooth.
  4. Add eggs and blend well into the sweet potato mixture.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  6. Add the dry ingredients alternately with milk to the sweet potato mixture, stirring just until blended; do not overmix.
  7. Fold in raisins and chopped walnuts or pecans.
  8. Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin cups.
  9. Mix remaining 2 tablespoons sugar with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle over the tops of the muffins.
  10. Bake until muffins test done with a toothpick, about 25 to 30 minutes.
  11. Remove from oven and serve warm.
