Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 1 cup cooked, mashed sweet potato

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • ⅓ cup water

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

  • 1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup chopped pecans

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin pan or line with paper liners.

  2. Combine sugar, sweet potato, olive oil, water, and eggs in a bowl. Combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a second bowl. Add flour mixture and pecans to sweet potato mixture. Gently fold together until just moist, being careful not to overmix. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
