these look great!
I'm still hung up on the other conference muffins.
Lisa,
It's true.
As good as these were, nothing will ever top the mini butter puffs. I should have ended my career after I made those. Leave on a high note. :)
These look fantastic! i love anything and everything apple, so these are definitely on my "to make" list! Maybe even tonight since they look so easy!
I'm pretty sad I missed out this year. Your muffins are always a treat!
i love muffins that have a glaze on them! these look really good, and i'm always looking for new muffin recipes for my husband's lunches
At 50 years old, I decided to become good at baking. I think I am a good cook but know I am a bad baker. i love to experiment and add my own twist which normally ends in disaster. But last night I made an incredible sweet potato bread that was low in sugar. My guests raved which always is gratifying. My question is , how much should the sweet potato be mashed? Should it be pureed? I left some small chunks which I really loved along with the walnuts, but that is me. Thoughts?

Carol,
The best way to become a better baker is to practice and experiment.
I haven't baked with sweet potato, but I have used fresh roasted pumpkin. I bet the sweet potato made your bread moist and tasty. I think with chunks or without, you will get great flavor and moisture. If you like the chunky texture, leave them in!
Happy baking,
Megan
Thanks, Megan. I appreciate the encouragement. I love the chunks with the nuts, so I am going that way. It was so moist. I served it warm to my guests who had spent the day making me their favorite soup. I wanted a special homemade bread to serve with their labor of love. It did the trick.
