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 free 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!
