• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the sweet potato mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth and uniform. The batter will be slightly thick.

Step 7

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
