Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups cold mashed sweet potatoes (without added butter or milk)
  • 1 cup canola oil
  • GLAZE:
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons 2% milk
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk the egg, sweet potatoes and oil. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
  • Fill greased muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 375° for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. In a small bowl, combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over warm muffins. Yield: 2 dozen.

These are wonderful even without the glaze on top!

Absolutely loved these muffins--they've been raved about every time I make them. I cut the oil in half and added a half-cup of applesauce to make it healthier. They turned out so flavorful and moist.

I love anything with sweet potatoes, but my husband is a skeptic. Once I convinced him to try these muffins, he was hooked. They are so moist and flavorful. Easy to prepare as well.

These never last long in my house when I make them. Even my friends & neighbors rave about them! The sweet glaze is just enough to top off the sweet muffins for a yummy breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, or whenever!

After eating 3 of these and asking for a 4th, my 6 year old told me that I "make the best muffins ever!"

These are yummy. I did not make the glaze because I thought there was plenty of sugar already. They are very dense, and I did cook them for an additional 5 min. (23 min total).

They also didn't rise at all...pretty flat. But the taste is great!!

Incredibly moist and delicious!! I live at high altitude (5500 ft) and made no corrections - came out perfect!

This recipe was AWESOME! I did not change a thing...It only took making these one time and my family and friends ask for them often. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe.

I followed the recipe too, with the 1 cup canola oil, and they turned out great!
