Sweet potato muffins with butter, shredded sweet potatoes, milk, spices, and walnuts or pecans.

Ingredients:

  • 6 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup evaporated or regular milk
  • 1 1/2 cups peeled finely shredded sweet potato
  • 2/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Preparation:

In a large mixing bowl with hand-held electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla until well blended.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir into the butter mixture alternately with milk, mixing just until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in sweet potato and chopped nuts. Spoon batter into greased muffin cups, filling about 2/3 full. Bake at 375° for 25 to 30 minutes, or until centers spring back when pressed with fingertip. Cool in pan on rack for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and serve muffins warm. Makes about 1 dozen sweet potato muffins.

Sweet Potato MuffinsMarch 19, 2009By JacquelineCisterino
"Last night I needed a quick recipe to go with our Church's ""Soup & Such"". Found I had a package of Bob Evans sweet potatoes in the refrigerator so my Daughter googled Sweet Potato Muffins and found this site and this recipe. I doubled the recipe and made 24 muffins. I had to bake the muffins for 30 minutes as they did not fully cook at 25 minutes. The muffins were so tasty and I received many compliments on them. I think I will try the finely shredded sweet potato next time and see if the muffins taste any different. This is a great recipe and I made the batter in under 15 minutes."
