Sweet potato muffins for Cook Expert
These sweet potato muffins are a way to use up leftover sweet potato. I had a beautiful sweet potato I had, and since my husband loves muffins for breakfast, I made the ones you see in the photo. When they're freshly baked, I freeze all but three or four, and then they're perfect when I defrost them.
