preparation
12 muffins
Serving size: 1 muffin

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. Add the sweet potato chunks to a pot of boiling water and boil for about 15 minutes. Drain and puree in a blender or food processor or mash well with a fork.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, applesauce, Splenda, canola oil, and vanilla. Add in the mashed sweet potato and mix again. Add to the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups. Bake for about 15 to 17 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the muffin comes out clean.
6. Remove the muffins from the oven. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then turn out onto a cooling rack. Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature.

sWEET pOTATOE MUFFINS
I have made these twice and I can't figure out if they are cooked all the way or are they suppose to look mushy in the middle??
sweet potato muffins
Has anyone made these? I just did w/ww flour & the extra applesauce. Bake for 25 mins, not the recommended 15-17, were very chewy & still not done. Not a lot of flavor.

Sweet Potato Muffins
I used whole-wheat pastry flour and 3/4 cup of pecans. Baked for 16 minutes until toothpick came out clean; I left them in the pan for the recommended 5 minutes. Great!
I did use cupcake papers. Next time I'll add extra cinnamon. To reheat leftovers, I split and buttered them with Brummel & Brown Spread, then broiled about 4 minutes. Yum!
