SAVORY SWEET POTATO MUFFINS WITH BACON



Savory Sweet Potato Muffins with Bacon image

When I lived in New Zealand, there was an abundance of kumara (their version of our sweet potato) and it was used in everything from curries to muffins.

Time 40m

Yield 24 muffins, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

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.

Tips:

  • To ensure your sweet potato muffins turn out perfectly, start with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • Use a food processor or blender to achieve a smooth and lump-free batter. This will help create a light and fluffy muffin.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. Overfilling can lead to muffin tops that overflow and become misshapen.
  • Bake the muffins in a preheated oven. This will help them rise evenly.
  • Keep an eye on the muffins as they bake. The baking time can vary depending on the type of oven you are using.
  • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
