Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, coconut milk, melted coconut oil, shredded coconut, chopped nuts (if using), vanilla extract, eggs, and honey. Mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it can result in dense muffins.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These are delightful muffins, moist, light in texture with a lovely crumb! I used the orange yams. Made as directed, but for our tastes I will bump up the cinnamon and nutmeg next time. And used pecans. DH usually is not a muffin eater, ate two! We both thoroughly enjoyed these with a cuppa. This is a keeper recipe for sure! Thank you for sharing NELady!
