Sweet Potato Muffins



I told you I would experiment with some sweet potato recipes... here's my first attempt. I liked how the muffins turned out, they had a good flavor, but I think they can be better. I'll give you the recipe, then after I play around with it some more, I'll post an updated recipe.

Sweet Potato Muffins
makes about 2 dozen

1 1/2 cup apple sauce
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
4 Tbsp brown sugar
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 3/4 cup white flour
4 Tbsp ground flax seed
4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp salt
8 cups of shredded raw sweet potato
1 cup of raising

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix apple sauce, eggs, vanilla, and sugar in a bowl.

Mix all dry ingredients and sweet potato in a separate bowl.

Gradually mix wet ingredients into dry. After the two are mixed, add raisins and stir.

Fill greased muffin tin with batter and cook for 30-45 minutes.

The center of the muffins never appeared to be fully cooked. I took them out after about 40-45 minutes and let them cool. Later on in they day, after they completely cooled, the muffins tasted great! Instead of an undercooked texture, they just seemed very moist.
