Cranberry Sweet Potato Muffins

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 20 min. + cooling YIELD: 1 dozen.
Bold autumn flavors of sweet potatoes, cranberries and cinnamon give seasonal appeal to these golden muffins. I recommended them for a change-of-pace treat with a meal, packed into a lunch box or as a snack. —Diane Musil, Lyons, Illinois
