Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato (about 1 medium sweet potato)
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

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, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar until combined. Add the maple syrup and whisk again.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in the mashed sweet potato, milk, and vanilla extract until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until no streaks of flour remain. Stop mixing as soon as they are combined to keep the muffins tender.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. 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, use sweet potato puree that has cooled to room temperature.
  • If you prefer a less sweet muffin, reduce the brown sugar by 2 tablespoons.
  • Chef Tariq suggests adding 1/2 cup of chopped pecans to the batter for extra crunch.
  • These muffins freeze well for up to three months when stored in an airtight container.
