If you don’t have any leftover sweet potato the easiest thing to do is to pierce a large one several times with a fork and cook it in the microwave on high for 5 minutes.  Allow it to cool a bit before cutting it in half and scooping out the insides.

Next I dumped the mashed sweet potato, eggs, almond milk, vegetable oil and fancy molasses into a large mixing bowl.

I used an electric hand mixer to beat the ingredients together until they were frothy.

Then I measured all the dry ingredients into the large mixing bowl.  The list of dry ingredients included Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend, brown sugar, quick oats, oat bran, meringue powder, baking powder, xanthan gum, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.

Once they were all in the bowl I used the electric hand mixer to blend them with the wet ingredients just until they were combined.

Now I dumped in some raisins.  I love raisins but you could choose to omit them or add in some nuts instead or both.  It depends on your personal preference.

I folded in the raisins with a large rubber spatula.

After folding in the raisins I scooped the batter into greased muffin pans.  

Next I baked the muffins in a 350F oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center came out clean.

After letting them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes I flipped them over onto their sides to let them finish cooling.

 

You could transfer them to a cooling rack at this point instead if you prefer.

The sweet potato really enhances the texture of these muffins.  Sweet Potato Muffins are definitely going to be added to the muffin rotation at our house.  They are flavourful and filled with goodness so serve and enjoy!
