Sweet Potato Muffins – notes
Some time ago I spotted on Julie Marie Eats blog a recipe for Sweet Potato Bread and I was delighted by this idea. However, I was more in the mood for some muffins than a traditional cake, so I prepared my own version in the form of these small sweet potato muffins. I added sweet and aromatic cinnamon streusel to them, and here they are. Perfect autumn sweet potato muffins :) If you like such spiced, aromatic bakes that warm you up in ugly autumn weather, then you absolutely must try this recipe!
What ingredients are essential for baking sweet potato muffins?
To bake these muffins, you will need a few basic ingredients. Below is a condensed list of products I used and possible substitutes.
- gingerbread spice – I used homemade gingerbread spice, but you can also use store-bought – be sure to check its ingredients – if flour or sugar is listed first, it will be less aromatic. If you don’t have gingerbread spice, you can add about 1.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon to the muffins.
- oil – I use rapeseed oil, but you can use any other mild-flavored oil, it can also be melted coconut oil, or melted and cooled butter.
- sugar – I used regular granulated sugar, but if you have cane sugar, you can use it, the muffins will have an even better taste.
- butter – for the streusel, you need butter; I use 82% extra butter, you can optionally use a butter blend or good quality vegetable butter.
How to make sweet potato puree for muffins?
In the recipe, I suggested baking the sweet potato in the oven and then mashing it into a puree. You can also boil it. In that case, peel it and cut it into smaller pieces. Cook it until soft and drain thoroughly after cooking. Let it cool and then proceed according to the recipe.
How to store sweet potato muffins?
You can store the muffins at room temperature on the kitchen counter. It’s a good idea to cover them or transfer them to an airtight container to prevent them from drying out and to keep them fresh and soft longer.
You can also freeze sweet potato muffins for about 3 months.
