Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

Made these last night and my house smelled amazing- I doubled the recipe and it made 30 good sized muffins! I brought them into work and I received lots compliments on them. I DID have to use 2% milk because I didn't have any skim on hand. Great recipe. I will make these again.

I bake and freeze sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving when they are on sale. Would 1 1/2 cups of mine be about the same as the 15 oz. can drained. These sound yummy.

Mr. Food, I love your site & recipes but I would love it even more if you included the calories, fat, etc. info as well. Just a suggestion, please think it over. Thanks!!

When our children were little.they swore they hated sweet potato. So I told them the pie, bread, cake etc. were pumpkin. Now they love them both. Thanks
