CHEF JOHN'S SWEET POTATO MUFFINS



Chef John's Sweet Potato Muffins image

Instead of sweet potato pie (which I'm not that fond of), I made sweet potato muffins and I was thrilled with the results. Muffin or cupcake? Frosted or unfrosted? Doesn't matter--these really are fantastic.

Time 35m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 16

non-stick cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
4 large eggs
1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup light brown sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
¼ cup melted butter
2 cups mashed sweet potato (yams)
1 cup chopped pecans, plus more for topping
2 teaspoons demerara sugar for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line muffins tins with paper muffin liners. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, ground ginger, and nutmeg together in a mixing bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, white sugar, and brown sugar together until mixture gets light and foamy, about 2 minutes. Pour in vegetable oil and melted butter; whisk together thoroughly. Add mashed sweet potatoes and chopped pecans. Add dry ingredients. Whisk together until dry ingredients disappear into the batter, about 1 minutes. Let batter set for 10 minutes before filling muffin cups.
  • Fill muffin cups about 3/4 of the way to the top. Sprinkle tops with pecans and a pinch of demerara sugar.
  • Bake until a bamboo skewer inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cool in pan about 10 minutes; transfer muffins to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Ensure your sweet potatoes are well-cooked before starting the recipe. This will ensure that the muffins have a smooth and creamy texture.
  • If you don't have brown sugar, you can substitute granulated sugar. However, brown sugar adds a richer flavor to the muffins.
  • If you want your muffins to have a crispy top, sprinkle them with a little brown sugar before baking.
  • These muffins are best when served fresh out of the oven. However, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

These Thanksgiving Leftover Sweet Potato Muffins are a delicious and easy way to use up your leftover sweet potatoes. They're moist, fluffy, and full of flavor. Plus, they're a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables! So next time you have leftover sweet potatoes, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
