Make these easy, spiced sweet potato muffins for a moist and fluffy breakfast or snack. This recipe uses sweet potato puree and warm spices.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 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 ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sweet potato puree (about 1 medium sweet potato)
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

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 medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and both sugars until combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Mix in the sweet potato puree, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the best texture, ensure your sweet potato puree is cooled before mixing it into the batter.
  • To make this recipe healthier, substitute the brown and white sugar with 3/4 cup of maple syrup and reduce the milk slightly if the batter seems too wet.
  • You can substitute pecans or walnuts for the chocolate chips for a nutty flavor.
