How to Make Disappearing Sweet Potato Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup grated raw sweet potato.
  5. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients.
  6. Gently stir the wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup raisins and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional).
  8. Spoon batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before running a paring knife around the edges to release them.
  11. Invert the muffin tin onto a wire rack to completely cool the muffins.
  12. Serve warm and enjoy!
