Sweet Potato Muffins Recipe

By dette

Sweet potatoes are so flavorful so adding them to muffins was a great idea. The recipe make a lot but they are gone as soon as you pull them out of the oven.—Diane Vick, Wilson, North Carolina

Ingredients

• 3 cups self-rising flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 4 eggs
• 1-1/2 cups vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes
• 1 cup raisins
• 1 cup chopped nuts

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar and cinnamon. In a bowl, beat the eggs, oil and vanilla. Stir in sweet potatoes. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in raisins and nuts. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Yield: 3 dozen.

Editor's Note: As a substitute for each cup of self-rising flour, place 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a measuring cup. Add all-purpose flour to measure 1 cup.
