These healthy sweet potato muffins pack all the warm, spiced flavor of fall into a lighter breakfast treat that won’t weigh you down.

Mashed sweet potato creates natural moisture and subtle sweetness, while cinnamon, ginger, and allspice add warming depth. Skim milk and just 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil keep these muffins light without sacrificing tenderness.

They bake up golden and tender in just 15 minutes, making them perfect for quick weekday breakfasts or afternoon snacks.

Kitchen Tips

  • Use freshly cooked and mashed sweet potato for best flavor
  • Don’t overmix the batter or muffins will be tough
  • Fill muffin cups evenly for uniform baking
  • Cool completely before storing in an airtight container
