Hi everyone....I'm a little late with my post this week...my husband had back surgery two weeks ago so things have been a "little" hectic.
Last
week my friend and neighbor Lori Ellis gave me some sweet potatoes from
her garden. They are so sweet and delicious compared to the store
bought ones. I used two with dinner last night....mashed them with
butter and served them with our Salmon fillets.
Then
last evening I got this idea to make some Sweet Potato Muffins with the
remaining ones. So this morning I wrote a recipe for them and set out
putting them together. Wanted to see if they were good enough to share
the recipe with you. Of course, I thought so...Tee Hee...but then my
husband tried one, and he said they were really good! I will apologize
for not having a photo tutorial this time. I will do one next time I
make them, which I am sure will be soon with Thanksgiving around the
corner. Here's my recipe:
Bake @ 350 degrees for 28 - 30 minutes. (or until tester comes out clean)
Recipes makes 6 jumbo muffins.
Whisk together the following dry ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside.
2 cups flour
2/3 cups granulated sugar
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
In larger bowl combine until smooth ( I used my immersible hand blender for this)
1 egg
1 stick unsalted butter (softened)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cups cooked and peeled sweet potatoes
To this add the dry ingredients and mix just until moistened.
I hope you enjoy them as much as we did! Happy Baking!
Until next time, Love and Hugs
Topping:
1 Tbsp. flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup chopped pecans
Mix together and sprinkle each muffin with heaping tablespoon of topping, and enjoy!
