Easy recipe for healthy oatmeal sweet potato muffins with a sweet crumb topping. Make with fresh or canned sweet potatoes, cinnamon and nutmeg.These muffins are so moist and full of flavor. My husband pops one into a bag and takes to work to nibble on at his desk for a mid-morning treat with a cup of coffee.

 
Not only are sweet potatoes readily available, inexpensive, and delicious, they have many other benefits for your health.
 
 
There are lots of  good reasons to add sweet potatoes to your diet. Did you know sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene). They are also a very good source of vitamin C, manganese, copper, pantothenic acid and vitamin B6. Additionally, they are a good source of potassium, dietary fiber, niacin, vitamin B1, vitamin B2 and phosphorus.
 
 
In this recipe you can use either canned sweet potatoes or fresh. It is really easy to make fresh sweet potatoes.
 

How to cook sweet potatoes

 
After scrubbing and pricking sweet potatoes, bake them in a 400 degree oven on a baking dish lined with foil until the sugars ooze from the slits from the knife (45-60 minutes). When cool enough to handle, remove the skins and mash the potato with a fork.  It is really convenient to bake a batch and freeze so they are readily available whenever you want them. After baking and cooling, I measure 1-cup servings and spoon into pint-size freezer bags and press flat; then date and freeze.

    These do look so yummy and they are pretty in shape too. Mine have a tendency to spread out but yours rose upward.
