GLUTEN-FREE SWEET POTATO MUFFINS

Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Muffins image

I have a family member with special dietary needs, so I came up with these gluten-free sweet potato muffins that we could all enjoy. These are just as good as any traditional recipe, maybe better! If you don't have sweet potato on hand, canned pumpkin may be used instead. -Kallee Krong-Mccreery, Escondido, California
