Sweet potatoes are made for autumn baking with their caramel-y, nutty flavor. There are so many ways to love sweet potatoes<\/a>, but we especially love them in these sweet potato muffins. Each muffin is packed with fluffy, mashed sweet potatoes and a warming dash of fall-favorite cinnamon. A super-simple vanilla glaze makes these muffins feel like an indulgent treat.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, sweet potatoes and oil. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until moistened.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Do not overmix the dry ingredients and wet ingredients. Doing so would over-develop the gluten, resulting in dense, tough muffins.<\/p>\n Fill greased muffin cups or muffin liners two-thirds full with the batter. Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool at room temperature for five minutes before removing the muffins from pans to wire racks.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners\u2019 sugar, milk, butter, vanilla and cinnamon. Drizzle the glaze over the warm muffins.<\/p>\n To store, allow these sweet potato muffins to cool completely to room temperature. Place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.<\/p>\n But can you freeze muffins<\/a>? Yup\u2014and they last in the freezer for up to two months! Simply place the room-temperature muffins in a resealable bag or airtight container, then store in the freezer. Be aware, the glaze won\u2019t freeze as well, so you may want to wait to make the glaze until you\u2019re ready to thaw and serve the muffins. Alternatively, keep the glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.<\/p>\n To rewarm from frozen, thaw the muffins in the fridge overnight, then gently rewarm them in the microwave.<\/p>\n Boiling is the most straightforward method for\u00a0cooking sweet potatoes. Peel the sweet potatoes, and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Boil them until fork-tender, 12 to 15 minutes. For every 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes, you\u2019ll need to start with about three medium-sized sweet potatoes.<\/p>\n Roasting sweet potatoes is another great cook method. Set your oven to 400\u00b0, and line a baking sheet with parchment. Scrub and thoroughly dry the whole sweet potatoes. Pierce them all over with a fork, and coat each sweet potato with about 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet, and roast until a butter knife inserted into the center pierces through very easily, about 45 minutes. Let the sweet potatoes cool to room temperature, then remove their skins, and use the roasted sweet potato flesh.<\/p>\n You can also use canned sweet potatoes for this sweet potato muffin recipe (just make sure they’re not sweetened). Also, you may need two cans. One standard 15-ounce can sweet potatoes produces about 1-3\/4 cups mashed sweet potatoes. Finally, make sure you\u2019re not reaching for canned yams; yams and sweet potatoes<\/a> are not the same!<\/p>\n Unfortunately, you can\u2019t anything for substitute the self-rising flour, but learning how to make self-rising flour<\/a> is pretty easy. For each 1 cup self-rising flour called for, place 1-1\/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1\/4 teaspoon salt in a measuring cup. Add enough all-purpose flour to measure 1 cup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" These sweet potato muffins with cinnamon are simple to throw together for just-because fall
