Servings 24
3 cups of mashed sweet potato, see below for instructions
1 cup white flour
1 cup wheat flour
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup honey
3/4 cup coconut oil
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup ground flaxseed meal, optional
To prep the sweet potatoes (this can be done a day or so ahead if you want to break up the muffin-making process): Pierce the potatoes with a fork and place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 45 minutes, or until the inside is soft when poked with a fork. Remove and let cool. When the potatoes are cool, peel off the skin and mash the sweet potato filling with a fork or masher until any big lumps are gone. Measure out 3 cups worth of filling.

To make the muffins: In a large bowl combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the honey, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and then add the sweet potato. Pour into muffin tins/cups. If using flaxseed, sprinkle on top of the muffins. Bake at 325 for approximately 30 minutes.
Notes
I used three very large sweet potatoes and it came out to be just about three cups exactly. If you're using smaller potatoes you might want to use 4-5. If you end up being short, you could always use some mashed banana to get to three cups.

How to Microwave Sweet Potatoes
1 sweet potato (1/2 Tablespoon butter optional, dash of cinnamon optional)
Scrub the potato clean and remove any trendils or strings hanging from it. Pierce the potato several times, and wrap in a paper towel. Microwave the wrapped sweet potato 4 - 6 minutes, or until it is soft to the touch. Slice the sweet potato lengthwise, fluff with a fork, and add a pat of butter and/or sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
