Welcome to my baking adventures.

Sweet Potato Praline Muffins

These Sweet Potato Praline Muffins are perfect for breakfast or dessert. Not only are they delicious but also nutritious. So moist and crunchy.

The sweet potatoes definitely add lots of extra flavor to these muffins.

Read below to see my tips on always having sweet potatoes that aren’t stringy.

A relative brought me a bag full of sweet potatoes the other day so I baked all of them.  I had enough sweet potatoes to make a casserole and these amazing sweet potato praline muffins.

I was trying to think of things to make with that many sweet potatoes and I thought a plain muffin sounded too healthy for me so of course I added a praline topping.

At least the nutrients from the sweet potatoes made me feel like I was eating healthy.

When I buy sweet potatoes I always look for ones that are about the size of  my fist. The ones that are long and skinny will usually have lots of strings.

The best way to avoid strings if you have them is to cut your potato against the grain so many times that there isn’t a string left and then mash your potatoes.  Every time I see someone just mash a sweet potato without cutting it I just cringe.

Let me know how you like them.
