Imagine the warm, comforting aroma of Sweet Potato Muffins with Chocolate Chips filling your kitchen, promising a cozy treat perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a midday snack. These are tender, light and just sweet enough. A touch of cinnamon is all they really need, but a handful of your favorite nuts wouldn’t hurt.
This recipe is simple to follow, and here are some useful tips I learned while testing it. To make sweet potato purée, roast, steam, or boil one sweet potato until very soft, then peel it and blend until smooth. Use room-temperature eggs in your batter for better mixing and even baking. Let melted butter cool before adding it to prevent cooking the eggs. Try to avoid overmixing the wet and dry ingredients to keep the texture light. Fill muffin liners about ¾ full to allow for rising without spilling. After baking, cool the muffins on a wire rack to help them hold their shape. These quick and easy muffins are ready in 25 minutes, so this recipe can be a weeknight cook’s savior. Enjoy!
