Sweet Potato Muffins with Leftover Mashed Sweet Potatoes recipe
Have leftover mashed sweet potatoes? Make these Sweet Potato Muffins with Leftover Mashed Sweet Potatoes! These are my ultimate sweet potato muffins—a simple baking project that rewards you with fluffy, gently sweet and perfectly domed muffins—the quintessential breakfast on the go. I love adding just vanilla and cinnamon for flavor, but a handful of raisins can beautifully boost sweetness if you’re in the mood!
Starting the oven at 400 °F boosts the muffins right at the start, so they puff up and create a nice dome. Lowering the heat to 325 °F allows them to bake through more gradually. Just remember to turn the oven down three minutes after you pop the muffins in.
