Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare muffin pan: Line muffin pan with liners or lightly grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir until well combined.
-
Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the egg, brown sugar, unsweetened applesauce, mashed sweet potato, canola oil, and raisins until well blended.
-
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be moist and slightly lumpy.
-
Fill muffin cups: Spoon the batter evenly into each muffin cup, filling each about 3/4 full. This ensures the muffins rise properly and have a nice dome shape.
-
Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
