Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet potato (mashed)
- 1 cup apple (peeled and shredded)
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potato, shredded apple, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
If desired, fold in the chopped nuts and/or raisins for extra texture and flavor.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your homemade Sweet Potato Apple Muffins!
