Tips:

  • Muffin Tins and Liners: Use standard size muffin tins and line them with paper liners to prevent sticking and for easy removal.
  • Sweet Potatoes: Choose fresh, firm sweet potatoes for the best flavor and texture. Bake them until tender before mashing them.
  • Mashed Sweet Potatoes: Make sure the mashed sweet potatoes are smooth and free of lumps. This will ensure a consistent texture in the muffins.
  • Mixing: Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Baking: Bake the muffins in a preheated oven and check their doneness with a toothpick. Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean when the muffins are done.
  • Cooling: Allow the muffins to cool completely before serving or storing. This will help them set and retain their shape.
