These sweet potato muffins are fabulous! I took the original recipe from Once a Month Meals, but I altered it slightly. The original recipe called for using baby food, specifically sweet potato puree. All I could think of was gross when i read that, but you could make your own sweet potato puree that was purely sweet potato and nothing else, making it healthier and more appetizing at the same time. I pealed and boiled 3 sweet potatoes until they were very tender and drained them. Then comes the "hard" part use a fork and mash it into a puree. Obviously this is not difficult, in fact it is down right easy and no special tools are needed.
The recipe called for 1 1/2 cups of the puree, I however put 2 1/2 cups of puree into my batter. I did not significantly change the recipe other than the fact that I omitted cloves and substituted pumpkin spice into the batter. I also left out the chocolate chips, because though I love chocolate I felt the sweet potato in these muffins should stand on their own two feet. This recipe yielded 12 muffins that will be a wonderful addition to breakfast here at our house.
