What You Need:
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 cup sugar (or substitute 2/3 cup agave nectar)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup sweet potato (peeled, boiled, and mashed)
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup water
- nutmeg, cinnamon, and any other spices that suit your fancy
- 1 cup of cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, or a mixture of the 2
- Preheat oven to 350
- Prepare a muffin tin with olive oil spray or butter
- Mix olive oil, eggs, water, sweet potato
- Add agave or sugar
- Mix in flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg
- Blend ingredients well and pour into muffin tin
- Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, or until done (you can insert a sharp knife into one of the muffins- if nothing sticks to the knife, the muffins are ready)
- Remove muffins from tin and place on baking rack to cool
- Once cool, scoop out a section from the top center of each muffin (see photo)
- Eat what you have scooped out as your reward for baking
- Whip up your cheese, adding cinnamon if you like. Fill each hole with your cheese selection. When I made these I used mascarpone, but wished that it had a sweeter, cheesier taste. Next time I think I will do a mascarpone-cream cheese combo.
- Sprinkle cinnamon on top of each muffin and enjoy!
- Makes 12 regular sized muffins.
