Ingredients

¾ cup cooked, mashed sweet potato (about 1/2 lb.)

1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

¾ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

2 ¼ tsp ground cinnamon

¾ tsp ground nutmeg

½ tsp ground ginger

½ tsp ground cloves

3 tbsp mild olive oil

2 eggs, lightly beaten

¾ tsp vanilla extract

½ cup honey

½ cup plain greek yogurt, 2%

Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (325 in convection oven) and line muffin tins with paper muffin liners.

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl combine the olive oil, eggs, vanilla, honey, yogurt and mashed sweet potato.

Combine dry and wet ingredients and mix just until all ingredients are moistened.

Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin cups (1/4 cup per muffin).

Bake until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 15 minutes.

Chef's Note:

To roast sweet potato, place whole sweet potato in 400-degree oven for about 50 minutes. To save time cut sweet potato in half and roast for about 25 minutes.
