Ingredients:
- 3 cups self-rising flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup white raisins
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
- 2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, cinnamon, and sugar. Stir well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
-
Add the eggs and cooking oil to the dry mixture. Mix until well combined.
-
Stir in the mashed sweet potatoes, white raisins, vanilla extract, and chopped pecans. Ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated into the batter.
-
Fill each muffin cup approximately halfway with the batter. This allows room for the muffins to rise during baking.
-
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve these delectable Sweet Potato Muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a dollop of butter or cream cheese for added indulgence.
-
Storage: Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
