Sweet Potato Spice Muffins



We had some baked sweet potatoes last night for dinner and the leftovers got incorporated into these very easy to prepare, moist and tender spiced muffins. Not a bad addition to any Sunday brunch.



In a large bowl, mix together:

¾ cups sugar
2 eggs
½ cup cooking oil
1 cup sweet potato (mashed or pureed)

Sift together and fold into sweet potato mixture:

1 ½ cups flour
½ tsp salt
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice
¼ tsp cloves
1 tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground cardamom
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda

Fold in

1 cup golden raisins (optional)

Spoon batter into 12 greased or paper lined muffin tins. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
