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

  • 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.

WHOLE WHEAT SWEET POTATO MUFFINS



Whole Wheat Sweet Potato Muffins image

In the quest for healthy breakfast muffins that my fast food loving husband will eat, I adapted this recipe and really liked it. The muffins are really moist, not too sweet, and have the added benefit of whole wheat and fresh sweet potato. Update: I made this with shredded carrots, substituted apple sauce for the oil, and added dried fruit bits and it worked equally as well. Update 2: topped these with a combo of pecans, raw sugar, and dark chocolate... yummy!

1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch sugar
3 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk, or 1 cup (240 ml) milk mixed with 1 teaspoon white vinegar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, or olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat until just shimmering. Add the sweet potato, onion, garlic, and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, until the sweet potato is softened and browned. Remove from the heat and let cool.

Tips:

  • Use ripe sweet potatoes: Using ripe sweet potatoes will ensure that your muffins are moist and flavorful. Look for sweet potatoes that are firm and have a deep orange color.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will prevent the muffins from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool before eating them: This will allow the muffins to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

These whole wheat sweet potato muffins are a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast option that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are made with simple ingredients that are easily accessible and can be found in most grocery stores. These muffins are also a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making them a healthy choice for a balanced diet.
