Sweet Potato Muffins #MuffinMonday

Wondering what to do with that leftover Sweet Potato Casserole.  How about these delicious muffins, perfect with coffee during those lazy days after the busy holidays.

These are not your typical light, fluffy, muffins.  They are dense and moist but oh so delicious.  They were a wonderful accompaniment to a baked omelet using up Christmas leftovers.

This is the last Muffin Monday of 2019 and I created these to use up some of my leftovers from Christmas.

I knew as soon as I spooned these into the muffin cups that they were not going to be a typical muffin.  I almost didn't bake them at all.  But then I thought "what the heck do I have to lose" and put them into the oven.

They rose a bit but not as much as I had hoped.  They were cooked through.  A skewer inserted into the center removed cleanly.  Oh well, I thought, I guess I won't be joining Muffin Monday this month.

Then I tasted them.  They are not light and fluffy.  They are pretty dense. They are also pretty darn tasty.  They made a great breakfast.  The flavor profile is perfect.  I'm not sure how I could get them more "muffin" like.  The sweet potato casserole I made was full of eggs, pecans and brown sugar.  So delicious.  The muffins tasted just like the casserole.  I'm not sure where I went wrong with the measurements.  I will play around with it some more but I decided to still share them today because they were so good.
