Minced ginger and dried orange peel enhance the taste of these spiced muffins. I especially love the whipped ginger butter served with these holiday treats. — Susan Bracken, State College, Pa.

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cold mashed sweet potatoes (prepared without milk and butter)
  • 3 teaspoon grated orange peel
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten

  • 2 tablespoon finely chopped crystallized ginger
Directions
  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1 cup sugar, orange peel, baking powder, ginger, salt, and baking soda. In a small bowl, combine eggs and sweet potatoes; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
  2. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Combine cinnamon and remaining sugar; sprinkle over batter.
