Ingredients

Method

– Pierce the potatoes with a fork and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake in a pre-heated 200°C oven for 40 – 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are completely cooked through. Take out of the oven and set aside to cool.

– Once cooled, peel off the skin and mash the potatoes with a masher until smooth and not at all lumpy – these should yield 1 1/2 cups worth.

– In a large bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

– In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla (if using).

– Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and then add the mashed sweet potatoes and mix until nicely combined.

– Use a ladle to pour the batter into a muffin tray.

– Bake in a pre-heated 180 °C for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of one of the muffins comes out clean.

– Serve warm or at room temperature or pack as a school snack.
