Time 40m

Yield 24 muffins, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups sucanat (organic) or 2 cups light brown sugar
4 large eggs (organic)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (organic)
1 cup applesauce (organic)
1 1/2 cups sweet potato puree (organic)
3 cups flour (organic)
1/4 cup ground flax seeds (organic)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon (organic)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (organic)
4 ounces cream cheese, softened (organic)
cinnamon sugar (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F In the meantime, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Sucanat is grainier than sugar and won't cream the same way-it'll work fine so long as the sucanat and butter are well mixed.
Add eggs, vanilla, applesauce and sweet potato to butter-sugar combo and mix well on low speed.
Combine all dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Slowly add to the wet ingredients while continuing to mix on low speed.
Fill each well of a greased, 1-ounce mini muffin tray half way. Add a ¼ tsp dollop of cream cheese on top of batter. Finish filling each well to the rim. Sprinkle each muffin with cinnamon sugar.
Bake for 18-20 minutes. Muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (except for some cream cheese filling)! Sprinkle some more cinnamon sugar on top. Allow muffins to cool in tray for about 5 minutes. Finish cooling on a baking rack.

This is a great way to use up a small quantity of mashed potatoes but I'm sure it can be doubled or tripled for a larger quantity with no problems. I love these muffins with soup for lunch. Originally published in Canadian Living magazine.

Tips:

Use good quality cheese for the best flavor. Grated cheddar, Parmesan, or mozzarella are all good choices.
For a crispier muffin, use a combination of all-purpose flour and cornmeal.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
Be sure to grease the muffin tins well so that the muffins don't stick.
Fill the muffin tins only about 2/3 full so that the muffins have room to rise.
Bake the muffins until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
