Sweet Potato Muffins - The sweet potato pie Muffins

Sweet Potato Muffins - The sweet potato pie Muffins -
Sometimes you don 't have a good reason not to like a certain recipe, and that's how it is for me with sweet potato pie. It just does not do it for me, and I do not even know what "it" is. However, I thought the same flavors might work for a sweet potato muffin inspirational holiday, and I am very pleased with the results.

This is perfect if you have potatoes the remains soft during the holidays, but otherwise totally worth cooking a few just for this easy recipe. I mine Microwaved for about 6 or 7 minutes, until they were very soft, but roasting, or boiling will also work.

Moreover, we are not using sweet potatoes for our muffin sweet potato; we use yams which are actually just misnamed sweet potatoes with orange flesh. So I guess never mind.

As I mentioned in the video, these muffins are just a little far from frosting cupcakes. I've never understood the allure of mini marshmallows over a pan of sweet potato, but something tells me some "fluff" would work well on them, as well. I really hope you give them a try soon. Have fun!
