How to Make Sweet Potato Oatmeal Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup mashed sweet potato, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 large egg until completely smooth.
  3. Melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter and add it to the wet ingredients.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 1 cup quick oats, 3/4 cup light brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin tins, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. (Optional) Combine 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the muffin batter and gently press down.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
