Veggie Spice Muffins - Amended from Foodlet's Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups roasted and mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 large sweet potatoes) - I save a step and just add about 4 of those baby food pouches. I typically use the ones with sweeter vegetables like carrot/sweet potato blends.
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup apple sauce
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 3/4 cup wheat germ
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 and prepare the pan by greasing with butter or oil, then sprinkling lightly with flour. Or use muffin liners.
Using a handheld beater or standing mixer, beat wet ingredients together until frothy: eggs, sweet potato, oil, apple sauce and vanilla. Add sugar and beat again. Put a sifter over the mixing bowl then add the flour, wheat germ, spices, baking powder, salt and soda. Stir to break up clumps but don’t over-mix. When just incorporated pour into muffin pan, filling each cup almost to the top.
I usually get the kids involved here and we add sprinkles or something fun to bake into the muffins.
Baking times:
- Mini muffins: 10-12 minutes
- Medium and regular-size muffins: 20-25 minutes
