Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 sweet potato
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup honey
1 (6 ounce) container vanilla yogurt
½ cup oatmeal
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup almonds
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 16 muffin cups, or line with paper muffin liners; set aside. Prick sweet potato several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake the sweet potato in the preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, about 40 minutes. When the potato is cool enough to handle, peel and mash.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, the 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Stir in the vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla, honey, yogurt, and mashed sweet potato, just until all ingredients are moistened. Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin cups.
  • Blend together the oatmeal, brown sugar, almonds, and the remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a food processor or blender. Sprinkle topping over unbaked muffins.
  • Bake muffins in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 12 to 15 minutes.

Overall, I thought these muffins were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't amazing either.

These muffins were a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

The muffins didn't rise very much, so they were a bit dense. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I found these muffins to be a bit dry. I think I might try adding some extra oil or butter next time.

These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. They were still moist and fluffy, and I liked the addition of the nuts.

Not bad at all. I was a bit skeptical about the sweet potato, but it actually worked really well. The muffins were light and fluffy, and the sweet potato gave them a nice, natural sweetness.

I've made these muffins several times now, and they're always a hit. The kids love them for breakfast or snacks, and I love that they're a healthy alternative to other muffin recipes.

These muffins are fantastic! The perfect balance of sweetness from the sweet potatoes and warmth from the spices. They're moist and fluffy, with a lovely golden-brown crust. I'll definitely be making these again.
