What do you do with the leftover sweet potatoes from Thanksgiving dinner? Turn them into breakfast the next morning in these slightly savory, slightly sweet muffins. The sausage adds interest and the mashed sweet potato lends delightful texture to every bite. —Diane Roark, Conway, Arkansas

I have never reviewed but loved this so much I had to join just to tell you. I did modify the recipe because I had no sausage at the time but just had to try make these muffins. The first time I made them I added about 2 oz goat cheese. I loved them and surprisingly so did my kids. THey were surprised that they liked the goat cheese too. The next morning I made them again...a double batch because they disappeared so fast the day before, but this time I added some chopped pistachios and added applesauce for half the oil/butter. It was amazing. The kids still want to try it with sausage and we will but for the minute it is just simply delicious!! Thanks for a new and tasty treat that is so moist and wonderful!!

Tinkered with the recipe just a bit. Used cinnamon instead of allspice. Did not have maple syrup so put in a bit of milk to loosen up the batter some. I made 16 rather than 12. Moist and delicious!
