Sweet Potato Muffins

We grow a huge amount of sweet potatoes in our garden each year, because they’re so low-maintenance, practically pest/disease free and store extremely well.

This means that I use sweet potato in as many ways as I can throughout the year and this recipe for Sweet Potato Muffins is one of my family’s favorite ways to eat them.

I pretty much love muffins of any kind, but these are one of my favorites because they make a dense/moist muffin and they’re packed full of fiber and vitamins making them a healthy option (aside form the sugar in them, of course).

I like to make my sweet potato puree ahead of time and store it in the freezer or bake up a bunch of sweet potatoes for dinner in the slow cooker and throw in a few extra to make muffins the next day.

I know your family will enjoy the recipe for Sweet Potato Muffins. Happy baking friends!
