1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground allspice

  • Whisk together brown sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs in a small bowl.

  • 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.

CHRISTIANA CAMPBELL'S TAVERN'S SWEET POTATO MUFFINS



Christiana Campbell's Tavern's Sweet Potato Muffins image

Christiana Campbell's serves these wonderful little muffins with every meal. At one time, they handed out this recipe on little cards (that's where i got mine). A reviewer reminded me: these are butt ugly. In Williamsburg, perfect little bite-sized muffins are served, all nice and puffy. When I made them, and the reviewer also, they were NOT puffy. They taste really good, but for some peculiar reason, they fall after coming out of the oven. If anyone makes them, and can figure this mystery out, please share. I have no clue why they come out different at home than they do in Williamsburg.

Time 40m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 eggs

1/2 cup chopped raisins
1 1/4 cups sweet potatoes, mashed (canned or fresh)

1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup chopped pecans or 1/4 cup walnuts

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: For the best results, use firm, ripe sweet potatoes. Avoid any that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes: Roasting the sweet potatoes intensifies their flavor and makes them easier to mash. Be sure to prick the potatoes with a fork before roasting to help them cook evenly.
  • Use a food processor or blender: A food processor or blender will help you quickly and easily mash the sweet potatoes and other ingredients. If you don't have either of these appliances, you can mash the potatoes by hand, but it will take a little longer.
  • Add moisture: If the muffin batter is too dry, add a little milk or water until it reaches the desired consistency. You can also add a mashed banana or applesauce to keep the muffins moist.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature: Baking the muffins at a high temperature will help them rise and give them a crispy crust. Reduce the temperature after 15 minutes to prevent the muffins from burning.
  • Let the muffins cool before eating: Let the muffins cool for at least 5 minutes before eating them. This will help them set and make them easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato raisin muffins are a delicious and nutritious breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect sweet potato raisin muffins every time.
