Sweet Potato Muffins


Annoyingly, grocery stores seem to think that people don't use canned pumpkin year-round since I haven't been able to find it in any stores near me. Thus, I decided to make sweet potato muffins instead! I used fresh sweet potatoes that I boiled and then pureed, but if you don't have time, you can use canned, just decrease the sugar by 1/4 cup since it usually comes canned in a sugar or corn syrup.

Notes:
  1. These muffins are soft and creamy inside, and a little dense; if you prefer a drier muffins, increase the flour by 1/4 cup (but they will come out a little heavy).
  2. To really kick these muffins to the next level, add 1 tsp of lemon or orange zest.

1 1/2 cups cooked, pureed sweet potatoes
1/3 cup soy milk or other substitute

1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup flour

  1. Mix together sweet potatoes, soy milk, eggs, vanilla and sugar.
  2. Sift together baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, flour and salt and stir into wet mixture.

Hi. I just wanted to say that I heard that something happened to Libby's pumpkin crop this year, and that's why there's no canned pumpkin in the stores.

Hi! First time commenting! I actually needed canned pumpkin this week and found that Safeway (17th and Corcoran) carries organic canned pumpkin-just ask someone because it was not with other canned vegetables!
