Sweet Potato Muffins
Originally found at Once a Month Mom
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup mashed sweet potato
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup applesauce
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 350. Line muffin tin with paper liners (or spray).
In a large bowl, cream together sugar and eggs. Add potato, honey and applesauce, and whisk until well combined. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, then slowly work into wet ingredients.
Fill muffin cups about 3/4 of the way, and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
My Notes:
Yes, I'm having a slight obsession with sweet potatoes. They're yummy. I'm not sure why I haven't been exposed to them before. This recipe is nice and yummy, and pumpkin can easily be substituted if you prefer. Best of all... they're pareve.
If you plan on feeding these to an infant, please substitute brown sugar for honey.
