How To Make Sweet Potato Muffins With a Cinnamon Sugar Glaze

Begin by preheating your oven to 375��F and lining a muffin tin with paper liners. This preparation ensures your muffins won’t stick and will bake evenly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. These dry ingredients give your muffins structure. Be sure not to over-mix to avoid tough muffins.
In a new bowl, blend the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until smooth. Next, add in eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Finally, fold in the mashed sweet potatoes.
Add your wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring till just combined. Disperse the batter evenly into the muffin tin. Pop them in the oven and let them bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Lastly, whip up your glaze by mixing the powdered sugar and a dash of milk. Once the muffins have cooled slightly, it’s time to glaze them babies up.
