Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 cup mashed sweet potato cooled
  • 1.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar packed
  • 0.25 cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • 0.25 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 0.25 tsp salt

Method
 

Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with oil.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potato, milk, vegetable oil, and egg until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, sift together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra flavor, add 0.5 cup of chopped pecans or chocolate chips to the batter. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
