Ingredients

For the Cupcakes:

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (cooked and cooled)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional Topping:

  • whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add Eggs and Sweet Potatoes: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and mashed sweet potatoes until combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the sweet potato mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  6. Fill Cupcake Liners: Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the batter.
  7. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Top with whipped cream if desired before serving.
