Sweet Potato Muffins
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
