How to Make I Yam What I Yam Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  3. Place 1/2 cup raisins in a small bowl and pour 1/4 cup boiling water over them. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes while preparing the batter.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. In a separate bowl, lightly beat 2 large eggs. Stir in 1/2 cup sorghum, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 1/2 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes (about 2 medium), and 1/4 cup orange juice.
  6. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Drain the raisins and gently fold them into the batter along with 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest.
  8. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  9. Sprinkle 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of granulated sugar over each muffin.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
