This is a muffin that tastes terriffic and has great nutritional value. It's my idea of the perfect breakfast muffin. One look at the list of ingredients will tell you how tasty and satisfying these muffins will be ... butter, creamy sweet potatoes, milk, spices, and pecans. Ingredients:
nonstick cooking spray |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract |
1/2 cup milk |
1/2 cup cooked sweet potato, mashed |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
1 egg |
1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped |
1 cup dark raisin |
2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Coat the bottoms of 12 medium muffin cups with no-stick cooking spray.
3. Add all the ingredients, EXCEPT the cinnamon-sugar, to a large mixing bowl; mix just until the flour is moistened. (COOK'S TIP: Do not over mix the batter or the muffins will be tough when baked.).
4. Fill the muffin cups 2/3 full (batter should be lumpy).
5. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar over batter in each muffin cup.
6. Bake 18 - 20 minutes on rack in the center of oven. Immediately remove from pan and place on baker's wire rack to cool.
