How to Make Autumn Sweet Potato Or Pumpkin Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground ginger.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 1 ½ cups cooked and mashed sweet potato or pumpkin puree, 1 cup soy milk, 2 large egg whites, ¼ cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Gradually add the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in ½ cup crystallized ginger.
  6. Fill the prepared muffin cups about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
