Sweet Potato Muffins With Candied Ginger image

Chunks of candied ginger really make these muffins especially good! If you don't have ginger on hand, replace it with chopped dates, raisins, or fresh pineapple. Serve with brie or other mild cheese, butter, or cream cheese. Adapted from Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison.

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.
