BREAKING: A delicious new recipe for Sweet Potato Muffins has just been released, perfect for your fall baking needs! Chef Samantha Seneviratne shared this mouthwatering recipe with Homes & Gardens, highlighting its ideal balance of texture and flavor, making it a must-try for busy families.
These muffins are not only flavorful but also incredibly practical. They’re designed to be a convenient breakfast option, especially for hectic school mornings. Each muffin is packed with 1.5 cups of roasted, mashed sweet potatoes, offering a nutritious start to your day.
Key Ingredients:
– 3/4 cup all-purpose flour for the crumb topping
– 2 cups all-purpose flour for the muffins
– 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
– 8 tablespoons melted butter
To prepare, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C)—a crucial step for achieving that perfect golden-brown crust. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners to ensure easy release after baking.
Crumb Topping Preparation: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, chopped pecans, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Incorporate 4 tablespoons of melted butter until combined, then set aside.
Muffin Batter Steps: In another bowl, combine the remaining dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, spices, and baking soda. In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 tablespoons of softened butter and 1 cup of dark brown sugar together until fluffy—about 3 minutes. Add in 2 large eggs and the mashed sweet potatoes, mixing until just combined.
Using a large spring-loaded scoop, distribute the batter evenly into the muffin cups. Generously sprinkle the crumb topping over the batter, creating clumps for added texture.
Baking Time: Place in the oven and bake for 26 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
This recipe is not only a treat for the taste buds but also a source of comfort during the cozy fall months. Keep them in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month—perfect for busy mornings!
Seneviratne emphasizes the joy of using seasonal ingredients, stating,
“Baking with farmstand products brings out the best flavors of the season.”
