We're seeing a noticeable change in the weather here. Days are getting shorter, nights are a tad bit chillier, and we can comfortably keep the air off and doors open most days. Y'all, it's almost fall. I know that probably puts a spring in most of your steps, but I mourn the death of summer. I'll take beach days over pumpkin patches and cold smoothies over pumpkin spice lattes. Actually, if we could hold off on pumpkin spice everything for a little longer, I'd be cool with that, thanks. I will admit, though, that I did have a slight craving for something fall flavored (hold the pumpkin, please) and ended up whipping up a batch of Sweet Potato Muffins from Golden Blossom Honey's recipe page earlier this week.
I always have sweet potatoes on hand because they are one of my favorite foods, but this is a first for me to incorporate them into baked goods. I simply microwaved the potato for 5 minutes, which make the pulp scoop away from the skin easily, and result was a muffin that baked up soft, moist, and delicious.
These muffins are so good right out of the oven, but are yummy for breakfast too. I just pop one in the microwave for 20 seconds or so, then enjoy with a steaming mug of tea. Mmmm! If you're itching for fall to hurry up and roll around, put these muffins on your radar. Even if you're not, like me, make them anyway. They are delicious and I bet you end up loving them!

Are you looking forward to fall or do you want summer to stick around a bit longer?
Autumn would be nice right now
ReplyDeleteLiving in the south, I imagine it's still pretty hot there.
DeleteGorgeous photos, lovely cups, how do you call those flowers? We call them 'kadifa' here.
ReplyDeleteYour air is off???? We're experiencing the worst of summer right now, can't remember a day my air wasn't on, but they do say we will have a refreshment next week, can't wait!
We call them marigold flowers.
DeleteI haven't had my air on for most of the week. I'm actually covered in a light blanket right now. Please send your heat my way. I am not ready for these cold temps yet!
Never knew potatoes could be incorporated like that. Fall does seem to be coming, but give it a few weeks, heat wave will probably come back. I'm fine with fall, but the closer that gets the more we get crummy snow near.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for the heat wave to kick in. I am dreading the snow season :(
DeleteI love the smell of pumpkin spice so I'll take it sooner rather than later. lol
ReplyDeleteIf I lived in a desert like you, I'd probably be itching for cooler temps too lol
DeleteThis is a first for me have never hear of sweet potato muffins..... BUT they sure look good. I grew ups eating sweet potatoes so one of my favorites
ReplyDeleteI never ate them growing up, but as an adult, I can't get enough!
DeleteThose look super tasty! I love muffins, and I love sweet potatoes. This looks perfect to me.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great combo, right?!
DeleteSweet potato muffins sound like the perfect way to start the day. Muffins are always a tasty breakfast, and sweet potatoes are a super food.
ReplyDeleteA yummy way to start the day, for sure!
DeleteI love sweet potatoes! They sound great! Sign me up for some. :)
ReplyDeleteDo you grow potatoes in your garden, Alissa? I know you do other things, but I don't recall potatoes on your list.
DeleteIf it weren't so humid, I'd love summer to hang around a bit longer. I've tried different ways to like sweet potato, but I just can't get there. ;)
ReplyDeleteHumidity really does make summer less appealing. Thankfully, it doesn't get too humid in Indiana. Just a short while and that's it.
DeleteI never thought of having them for breakfast! Fun fact, I hated anything sweet potato until I married my husband and he made his version of sweet potato pie - let's just say BROWN SUGAR can make EVERYTHING taste good. Now Im a fan and can't wait to try your recipe
ReplyDeleteSame here! I never had sweet potato pie because it just sounded ick. Then, we had it at a southern style restaurant and I was hooked. That started my love of sweet potatoes after the pie :)
DeleteYum these look and sound so tasty. I am not the biggest sweet potato fan but I think something like these would be great to have, especially for breakfast! - jeanine
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeanine :)
DeleteGood tip on the pulp. These look good to me too. My granddaughter LOVES sweet potatoes. So does her daddy. ;)
ReplyDeleteTwo peas in a pod, they are ♥
DeleteMy husband doesn't enjoy sweet potatoes much but I wonder if he would like this. We love having muffins in the morning for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteYou know, you really can't taste the sweet potato in it. It just gives it a moist consistency. It's more sweet and cakey than bland like the potato.
DeleteI've never made sweet potato muffins. These look delicious!
ReplyDeleteThank you Shannon :)
DeleteI never thought sweet potatoes could be used in muffin recipes! I always thought it would be fruit or nuts of some kind. I will have to try your recipe. This looks really delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt was a mind blower to me too! Who would have thought to put a sweet potato in a muffin?
DeleteThis definitely a new recipe to me sounds good and I love that honey
ReplyDeleteI am a summer girl. I love the colors of fall and the electric bill going down but I dont like cold weather.
ReplyDeleteSign me all the way up! I had sweet potato pie but dont remember ever having sweet potato muffins sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the delicious smell, Theresa...perfect for breakfast!
