Tips:

  • For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, not frozen, sweet potatoes.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • If you are using a muffin pan that is not nonstick, grease it well or use paper liners to prevent the muffins from sticking.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. The muffins will rise as they bake.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake, or the muffins will become dry.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 2 months.
