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.

I followed the recipe exactly--at first I thought 1 cup of canola oil sounded like too much. It was a thick batter but the muffins were moist and delectable. Brought them to the office and got raves!

I think there is a mistake in the amount of canola oil in this recipe. My muffins sunk in the middle and took another 13 minutes to be mostly done. I would cut it in half next time. Are there any corrections for this recipe?

Mild and delicious! I added half a cup of water to the batter, as it was too thick to work with. The glaze is delish! This recipe is certainly a keeper!
