This is a hearty muffin that goes well with a spread like whipped cream cheese. The sweet potato and spices give it a pleasant flavor that makes it a great snack or breakfast item.

If you love sweet potatoes try Tammie’s Sweet Potato Lefse – a recipe she created inspired by her German and Russian heritage.
Sweet potatoes are so nutritious, I’ve been trying to cook with them as much as possible. These muffins look so good, I’ll have to try them right away! Thanks!
They are and not overly high in calories either!
Sounds delish. Love to make a gluten free version.
I’d be interested to hear how you alter it if you get a chance.
I adore sweet potato
Me too Caro!
