When looking for and trying to create a sweet potato recipe for Thanksgiving. We had another failed attempt to create Sweet Mashed Potatoes, that everyone hated. I went to my trusty recipe binder and threw all the other "mashed" sweet potato recipes away. My family just does NOT like them, no matter how I make them. They do however LOVE sweet potatoes if they are cubed or sliced like my Sweet Potato & Apples, but mash them up and forget it. So, I went to throw the whole pan away and I just couldn't, so I put them away in the refrigerator and I am so glad I did. I was reading my newest edition of Food Network the very next day and came across Melissa's Easy Leftovers and found an awesome recipe. I will now be making these Magic Muffins again the day after Thanksgiving with whatever sweet potatoes we have left over (even though I wont make the mashed ones on Thanksgiving whatever recipe I do make, I will just mix up the leftovers in my food processor and make them mashed for this AWESOME recipe).
What do you make with your left overs from Thanksgiving? I can't wait to hear all the recipes you guys come up with. Please make sure to leave your recipe in the comments or if you have a blog then link up your recipe here. I have lots and lots of left-overs and I need some ideas!
Magic Muffins
from Food Network - Melissa's Easy Left Overs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup applesauce
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup mashed sweet potatoes
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup or more mini chocolate chips (we forgot these and they still tasted delicious, that's why I drizzled chocolate instead, oh well)
Mix sugar, applesauce, eggs, sweet potatoes and oil in a bowl. In another bowl whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spice. Mix the potato mixture into the flour mixture, then stir in some mini chocolate chips. Spoon into greased mini muffin cups (we used regular size muffin on). Bake 12-13 minutes at 375.

Sorry, I am late, this week. It has been a bit upside down by me.
ReplyDeleteLove muffins and you made these especially good with the chocolate drizzle.
Sweet Potatoes, Applesauce, wheat flour, and only a 1/2 a cup of sugar? These look, do I dare say, healthy-ish? I'm definately going to give these a try. They look like great workout food!
ReplyDeleteYour Magic Muffins with sweet potatoes sound so good and moist. Thank you for linking up for Muffin Monday at TalkingDollarsAndCents.net and sharing your recipe.
ReplyDeleteOh yummy, those sweet potato muffins sound interesting! Except i don't have pumpkin pie spice...i wonder if ordinary baking mixed spice will do....
ReplyDeleteAnd they look so easy to make too! My type of baking this, hehe.
Tnx for sharing the recipe! :)
