Indulgent Sweet Potato Muffins infused with all the irresistible flavors of sweet potato pie.
Ingredients:
  • non-stick cooking spray
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups white sugar
  • 0.5 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 0.25 cup melted butter
  • 2 cups mashed sweet potato (yams)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans, plus more for topping
  • 2 teaspoons demerara sugar for topping
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), then line muffin tins with paper liners and give them a quick spray of non-stick cooking spray.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, ground ginger, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl and whisk until well mixed.
  • Whisk eggs, white sugar, and brown sugar in a bowl until light and foamy, about 2 minutes. Mix in vegetable oil and melted butter. Stir in mashed sweet potatoes and chopped pecans. Add dry ingredients and mix until well combined, about 1 minute. Rest the batter for 10 minutes before filling muffin cups.
  • Fill muffin cups generously, leaving some room at the top. Garnish with pecans and a sprinkle of demerara sugar for added crunch and sweetness.
  • Bake the muffins for about 25 minutes until a bamboo skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow them to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
