Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup mashed, cooked sweet potato
2 large egg whites
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup water
¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup cranberry sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  • Mix sweet potato, egg whites, sugar, water, applesauce, canola oil, vanilla extract, and orange zest together in a bowl.
  • Whisk all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a separate bowl. Mix flour mixture into sweet potato mixture until just combined. Gently stir cranberry sauce into batter. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin tin.

These muffins were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more liquid next time.

These muffins were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
