Sweet Potato Muffins

The sweet potato is rooted (see what I did there) in our American food identity.

A staple food, grown heavily in the Carolinas, it was used for trade and as time went on, abundantly grown and used in recipes.

With this recipe you have some choices. It could easily be served with tea and coffee at the end of your Thanksgiving feast or served alongside it.

Whatever you choose, the tradition lives on, in these delicious muffins.

Mini Blueberry Muffins

Bite sized goodness, is how I describe these muffins.

A yummy breakfast snack or perfectly sized picnic treat.

Who can turn away a mini sized muffin anyway?! Horrible people, that’s who.

And you’re not a horrible person, you are wonderful. Have a mini muffin, it’s on me!

Carrot Muffins with Coffee-Cinnamon Glaze

Carrot cake is one of my favorites, in this recipe you’ll find carrots mixed with coconut, raisins and walnuts.

The muffins are then dipped in a glaze, studded with cinnamon and flavored with freshly brewed strong coffee.

Breakfast or snack, the multipurpose muffin!

So, here’s a picture of the muffins from last night. I brought a dozen into work (or rather had my mom drop them off for me, since some co-workers said they’d try them for me); and by the time I left today most of them were gone. The only thing I did differently when making mine, from Dashofdan’s rather spectacular recipe was use pumpkin that I had pureed and frozen last fall (instead of the canned variety). I think out of the 44 that were made there are only 6 left in my house, because they have all been given away or forced upon my Pastry Chef of a neighbor….
