These Sweet Potato and Brown Sugar Muffins are my new addiction! I’m not even exaggerating. My husband called me a muffin monster the other day and with good reason. I’m not sure what it is about muffins but I just can’t stop eating them until the entire pan is gone.
Way back when it was fall I made about 1,000 batches of these pumpkin muffins. I just couldn’t stop eating them for pretty much all meals of the day. So, the other day I was craving muffins and thought, just because it’s not pumpkin season anymore doesn’t mean I should be deprived of my favorite muffins in the world.
Then, I was hit with the most amazing idea ever, I decided to replace the pumpkin with sweet potato and it worked perfectly! I adjusted the spices a little bit and only used brown sugar, so they’re a little different from the pumpkin ones but just as delicious. I then proceeded to make about 3 batches and eat all of them within a few days, because I’m an all or nothing kinda gal.
So, if you want a delicious baking project this weekend, you should totally make these! And then invite me over so I can binge eat them with you 🙂

My friend loves muffins. Izzy, you gave me great idea how to surprise her next time. Thank you!
I hope she loves them!
I feel like I’m the muffin monster, too! If I could have a blog dedicated to just muffins, I would, though I feel like people would get bored after a few recipes haha. I love making muffins! And I can see why you’re in love with these cuties, such a fun combo, Izzy! Sounds perfect to go alongside my morning cup of coffee!
Haha, muffin monsters unite!! I would totally follow that blog!
These were absolutely delicious. My kids loved them (despite not having any chocolate chips in them – a feat!) The recipe is so simple but the muffins have a complex flavor. I used slow roasted sweet potatoes so I wonder if that added to the complex taste.

I’m so glad you and your kids loved them, Gina! They are my favorite muffins and I usually can’t stop eating them, haha! The slow roasted sweet potato sounds perfect for these 🙂
Will it come out the same if you use regular flour?
Yes! 🙂
