Sweet Potato Muffins
We all probably have leftover Thanksgiving and Friendsgiving leftovers. I had some butternut squash & sweet potato mash from a Friendsgiving over the weekend. I wanted to recreate it into something else. I was thinking maybe pancakes, waffles, or muffins? Muffins seemed the easiest and most practical so I went that route. It is so easy! Just mix the below ingredients together. Pour in a muffin pan and pop in the oven. Then you have yourself a delicious Thanksgiving bite for a few days to come!
Servings: 10-12 muffins
Total Time: about 30 min.
Ingredients
3 cups of sweet potato mash (or butternut squash mash or mashed potatoes) *You can mix & match too!
2 tbsp of chopped chives
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/3 cup of shredded cheese (optional)
1/2 cup chopped turkey meat (I used deli meat)
2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- Mix all the ingredients together very well.
- In a sprayed muffin pan, add 2 tbsp of the mixture for each muffin.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes. *Keep an eye on it after 25 minutes.
- Take out the pan and allow to cool.
- Once cooled, use a butter knife or small spatula to slowly go around the edges of the muffin and pop it out. *The bottom will more than likely still be a bit soft bt the edges not so much.
- Enjoy these bites perfect for brunch or a snack!
These were easy to make and delicious! I made them for the kids as a side dish next to fish fingers, although they are a nutritious meal on their own, and they liked them! Will be making them again
