Sweet potato muffins - and they taste great. Success at last!


At the request of Baby Genie, here is the recipe (I took it from the newsletter that Abel & Cole send out with their boxes):

Ingredients:
150g brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
120ml vegetable oil (though I had to use olive oil as had no vegetable oil. Tasted fine.)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
100g plain flour
150g wholemeal flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg powder
1/2 tsp salt
450g grated sweet potatoes (it's a killer grating them though...)
2 handfuls chopped walnuts and/or 1 handful raisins or other dried fruit (I just put in walnuts)

Preheat Oven to 180c/350F/gas4. Oil 12 large muffin cups.

In a small bowl whisk together the brown sugar, honey, veg oil, vanilla extract and eggs.

In a separate large bowl, mix together the plain flour, wholemeal flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and grated sweet potato.

Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour in the egg mixture, stirring gradually to mix together.

Stir in the raisins/dried fruit and/or walnuts.

Spoon batter into muffin tins and bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean. I had to bake them for an extra 10 minutes, but that may well be our dodgy oven.

Easy peasy! Had one for breakfast, yummy. Though Freyja won't eat them. She has an aversion to eating pretty much anything we bake together for some reason.
