Sweet Potato and Brown Sugar Muffins

January 19, 2017 8 Comments Breakfast, Dessert, Gluten Free

Sweet Potato Muffins-7993

 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 🙂

    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!

    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.

    Will it come out the same if you use regular flour?
