Sweet Potato And Molasses Muffins |
This is a great recipe for children. My eighteen month-old loves it and it's got lots of good things in it for their diet.
Ingredients
- 1 large orange-flesh sweet potato (about 1 1/4 pounds), baked until tender, peeled
- 2 eggs, beaten to blend
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsulfured (light) molasses
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Line 12 large muffin cups with foil muffin papers. Puree potato in processor. Measure 1 cup puree and transfer to bowl. Mix in eggs, then milk, molasses and butter. Add all remaining ingredients and stir until just mixed. Divide batter among muffin cups. Bake until springy to touch and tester inserted into center comes out with just a few moist crumbs, about 25 minutes. Transfer to rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 12 muffins.
