These Sweet Potato Muffins can be made using your leftover mashed, whipped, or pureed sweet potatoes or yams. They’re full of flavor and easy to make! Sweet Potato Muffins are a delicious, portable breakfast.
Last year after Thanksgiving, I had a lot of leftover Spiced Sweet Potatoes. My kids and I love sweet potatoes, but really, there are only so many times you can eat them.
I considered freezing them, and as I thought about that, it made me think about how I freeze pumpkin puree. And that made me wonder how things would turn out if I used leftover sweet potatoes in a recipe instead of pumpkin puree.
So I set about making sweet potato bread and sweet potato muffins. I was shocked at how good they were. Dare I say that I liked the recipes better with sweet potatoes than with pumpkin? I really do!
If you make The Sweetest Sweet Potato casserole, it will also work in this recipe.

I love sweet potatoes and I enjoy eating muffins. This is a great combo and can’t wait to bake these for my family!
I’m not a big sweet potato person but I bet these sweet potato muffins would be really good! Especially with chocolate chips in them.
Who knew sweet potatoes could be so versatile? I have used them in a few recipes but not muffins before. I buy them in huge boxes at our local farmers market because I love them so much. I’ll definitely find some time to whip up a batch of these this winter when I need to clear out my sweet potatoes!
I love that it’s a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. What a delicious idea! My kids are going to go crazy for these muffins
this sounds unique and tempting.. another way for me to use sweet potatoes
