Instructions

1

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.

3

Prepare wet mixture

In another bowl, mix the mashed sweet potato, brown sugar, milk, vegetable oil, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4

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.

5

Fill muffin tin

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

6

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.

7

Cool and serve

Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
