SWEET POTATO MUFFINS

Makes 15

Make these after Thanksgiving with mashed sweet potatoes, decreasing the sugar a bit.

3 eggs
2/3 cup lightly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 1/4 cups sweet potato puree
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease muffin tins or line with paper or foil liners.

In a large bowl, combine eggs, brown sugar, butter, sweet potatoes, milk and vanilla. Mix well.

In a smaller bowl, combine all remaining ingredients. Add dry ingredients to sweet potato mixture. Stir gently until just mixed.

Spoon batter into prepared cups. Bake 20 minutes. Remove muffins from pan and cool on rack.
