Instructions
Preheat and prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Mix dry ingredients
In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well.
Prepare wet mixture
In another bowl, mix the mashed sweet potato, brown sugar, milk, vegetable oil, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pro tip: Overmixing can lead to dense muffins.
Fill muffin tin
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake the muffins
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.
Cool and serve
Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Pro tip: Cooling on a rack prevents soggy bottoms.
