Ingredients
Wet ingredients
- 1 cup sweet potatoes, mashed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup water
Dry ingredients
- 1.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Pecan streusel topping
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
- First, peel, chop and boil the sweet potatoes until they are soft. Be sure to measure them after you they have been cooked, not before. You're baking so the measurements are important.
- Once they are soft, mash them up and allow them to cool.
- Now, for the wet ingredients combine the eggs, water, vegetable oil, granulated sugar and the mashed sweet potatoes together. Blend until everything is combined and smooth.
- Next, in a separate bowl add in the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt.
- Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Make the pecan topping by mixing all the ingredients together. After you've done that, combine the wet and dry ingredients until everything is mixed well, but do not over-mix.
- Place the muffin cups in the muffin pan. Fill the cups slightly under 3/4 of the way. Then sprinkle some of the pecan topping over each muffin.
- Place in preheated oven for 20 minutes. When done, if you press them they bounce back or a toothpick will come out clean.
- Allow them to cool 5 minutes before removing them from the muffin pan. Place on a cooling rack and allow them to cool fully. That should take no more than 20 minutes. Lastly, enjoy!
