Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ⅛ cups packed brown sugar
½ cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon salt
4 cups peeled, shredded sweet potato
½ cup raisins
1 cup walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease muffin tins to hold 12 muffins.
  • Whisk together brown sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs in a small bowl.
  • Mix together the flour, baking powder, spices, salt, and grated sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, and pour in the egg mixture. Stir the egg mixture, gradually incorporating it with the flour mixture. Stir in the raisins and walnuts
  • Spoon the batter into the tins. I like to fill each tin to the rim to make a large cap. Bake the muffins for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Take the muffins out of the oven and run a paring knife carefully around each muffin, then invert the pan, and knock one edge against your work surface to release the muffins. Serve the muffins right away.

Add flour mixture and pecans to the sweet potato mixture. Fold gently until just moistened, being careful not to overmix. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.

Tips:

  • For perfectly moist muffins, don't overmix the batter. Gently fold in the sweet potato puree and raisins until just combined.
  • To ensure even baking, fill each muffin cup evenly. Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to transfer the batter.
  • For a crispy muffin top, sprinkle turbinado sugar or cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
  • To check if the muffins are done, insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
