Bake these incredibly moist and fluffy sweet potato muffins for a cozy fall treat. They use simple ingredients and are perfect for an easy breakfast or on-the-go snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato (about 1 large sweet potato)
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth.
  4. Whisk in the melted butter until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the milk into the wet ingredients and mix briefly.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix with a spatula only until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are fine.
  7. If using, gently fold in the chocolate chips or pecans.
  8. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  9. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the best texture, ensure your mashed sweet potato is cooled before mixing it into the batter.
  • If you are interested in meal planning or finding alternatives to traditional baking, look into the best meal delivery services for convenient options.
  • To achieve bakery-style tops, you can sprinkle a small amount of coarse sugar over the batter before baking.
  • If you are exploring healthier options, consider substituting the sugars with maple syrup and using almond flour for a refined sugar free muffin variation.
