DELICIOUS SWEET POTATO MUFFINS
I adapted a pumpkin muffin recipe to come up with this delectable sweet potato concoction that is a true muffin, and not a cake! I think the sweet potato lends even more flavor than pumpkin. Added bonus: this recipe just happens to be dairy free, a plus for those who are intolerant to dairy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin pan or line with paper liners.
- Combine sugar, sweet potato, olive oil, water, and eggs in a bowl. Combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a second bowl. Add flour mixture and pecans to the sweet potato mixture. Fold gently until just moistened, being careful not to overmix. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Do not overbake. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack.

CHEF JOHN'S SWEET POTATO MUFFINS
Instead of sweet potato pie (which I'm not that fond of), I made sweet potato muffins and I was thrilled with the results. Muffin or cupcake? Frosted or unfrosted? Doesn't matter--these really are fantastic.

STRAWBERRY SWEET POTATO MUFFINS
These are called Yam and Jam Muffins in the BH&G Kid Favorites Made Healthy cookbook. I made them for my kids on the first day of school as a healthy after school snack. I was amazed when my pickiest eater asked for another. The original recipe says you can use plum, strawberry, peach, or apricot jam or preserves.
