Cinnamony Sweet Potato Muffins

Submitted by: Grace V.

Grace says, “Belgian families like mine love breakfast food, and these muffins always remind me of cozy mornings growing up at home.”

Ingredients:

Cooking spray

1 3/4 C. all-purpose flour

1/2 C. packed light brown sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1 Tbsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp salt

1 heaping C. mashed cooked sweet potato

3/4 C. buttermilk

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

3 Tbsp vegetable oil

2 tsp vanilla extract

Cinnamon-sugar (for dusting)

Chocolate chips or raisins (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°. Line muffin cups with paper liners, and lightly spray liners with cooking spray. Whisk together dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together sweet potato, buttermilk, eggs, oil, and vanilla. Add dry mixture and combine. If desired, mix in other add-ins like chocolate chips or raisins. Divide batter among cups. Bake muffins for about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Dust tops of muffins with cinnamon-sugar mixture once they have cooled slightly.
