Notes

  • If you don't have sweet potatoes already cooked (it's a meal prep staple in my house), you can throw them into the microwave for about 10 minutes until super tender when pricked with a fork.
  • If you're going to be making these often, silicone muffin trays are amazing as it makes getting the muffins out so easily.
