Time 35m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 16

cooking spray
1 (29 ounce) can sweet potatoes, drained
1 ¾ cups white sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon allspice
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
½ cup milk
½ cup canola oil
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon turbinado sugar (such as Sugar in the Raw®), or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 18 muffin cups with cooking spray.
  • Place sweet potatoes into the bowl of a food processor and add sugar, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, allspice, and cloves. Process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add milk, oil, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix thoroughly with a fork. Add flour and mix using a fork or spatula just until combined.
  • Spray a large serving spoon and use to spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups until it reaches the top of each. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes; pop muffins out and transfer to a wire rack to cool.

These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I could fix that by reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.

I found these muffins to be a bit dry. I think I would add a little more oil or butter next time.

These muffins were easy to make and turned out great! I used almond flour instead of all-purpose flour, and they were still moist and fluffy.

These sweet potato muffins were a hit! They were moist and fluffy, with a delicious sweet potato flavor. I added a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg to the batter, which gave them a warm, autumnal flavor.
