Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mashed sweet potato (about 1 large sweet potato)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potato, melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in any optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or pecans.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the best texture, use sweet potato that has been baked or microwaved until very soft, then cooled slightly before measuring.
  • You can substitute the granulated sugar with coconut sugar for a slightly more natural sweetener option.
  • This recipe freezes well. Cool completely, then store in an airtight container for up to three months.
