Not every baked good is made to leave an impression. While some desserts are admired for their height, layers, and elaborate decorations, other recipes are loved for the unusual way they vanish from existence. Disappearing sweet potato muffins fall into this latter category. With their deceptively plain facade, these muffins might not attract your attention at first glance. But one bite is all it takes to win you over. These muffins are undeniably moist, subtly sweet, and bursting with warm, earthy flavors. Better yet, they are incredibly easy to make, calling for a handful of pantry staples and a few minutes of your time.
Here are our top 2 tried and tested recipes!
DISAPPEARING SWEET POTATO MUFFINS
These are really good and a great way to get some good stuff into my kids, they eat them like candy! I didn't like the recipes with cooked/mashed sweet potatoes, so when I found this one, I was so excited. These smell absolutely wonderful when they are cooking too! We usually leave out the nuts, but put in the raisins

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease muffin tins to hold 12 muffins.
- Whisk together brown sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs in a small bowl.
- Mix together the flour, baking powder, spices, salt, and grated sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, and pour in the egg mixture. Stir the egg mixture, gradually incorporating it with the flour mixture. Stir in the raisins and walnuts.
- Spoon the batter into the tins. I like to fill each tin to the rim to make a large cap. Bake the muffins for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Take the muffins out of the oven and run a paring knife carefully around each muffin, then invert the pan, and knock one edge against your work surface to release the muffins. Serve the muffins right away.

GLUTEN FREE DISAPPEARING SWEET POTATO MUFFINS
This is a conversion of Recipe # 161227. If you don't love the flavor and can't put your finger on it it's the quinoa. I'd replace it with more brown rice flour or sorghum if you don't like it. I grind the walnuts because we don't like them, but they are a superfood.

Steps:
- Whisk together the brown rice flour, sorghum, tapioca starch, guar gum, baking powder, spices, salt and grated sweet potato. Toast the almonds in a dry stainless steel pan until you can smell them (about 5 minutes stirring often). Grind the almonds and quinoa. Mix well with dry ingredients until there are no lumps.
- In a medium bowl melt coconut oil if you are using whisk in honey, vanilla and eggs (if coconut oil is too hot it will cook the eggs so do them separately if you use coconut oil).
- Mix wet ingredients into the dry and fold in the walnuts and drained raisins if you're using them.
- Let dough sit for 30 minutes to allow guar gum to set.
- If you use an ice-cream scoop you can cook these on a cookie tray covered with parchment because they don't spread much. Or you can grease and flour the cookie tray, spread it in and make a big bar out of it. That's what I do now, it's much easier and faster.
- Cook in a 350 degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean.
