Ingredients

  • For the muffins:
  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup sweet potato puree (from 1 baked potato)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • For the topping:
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine all purpose flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and ground nutmeg. Set aside.

  2. In a large pouring vessel combine whole milk, buttermilk, sweet potato puree and vanilla extract. Set aside.

  3. In a large bowl, cream unsalted butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer, until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Alternately mix in dry and wet ingredients into the butter, starting and ending with the dry; mix only until each addition is incorporated, DO NOT OVERMIX.

  4. Coat a muffin pan with nonstick spray and fill muffin cups 1/2 full. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean.

  5. While muffins are baking, in a shallow bowl, combine granulated sugar, ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg. In a separate bowl, melt 1 stick of unsalted butter.

  6. When the muffins are cool enough to handle, yet still warm, remove muffins from the pan, brush them completely with the melted butter, and roll in the sugar mixture to coat.
