Muffins have been made with carrots, corn, soy and more, so now add this nutty taste adventure with the purple-skinned, sweet potatoes from Honduras:

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups bran cereal

1 cup milk

1 egg

1 cup cooked Purple Sweetie sweet potatoes

1/2 cup honey

3 tbsp. lemon juice

Grated rind from 2 large oranges

3/4 cup raisins, soaked and well drained

1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour

1/4 tsp. salt

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

Directions: In a large bowl, pour milk onto cereal and let stand. Mash enough sweet potato with lemon juice to measure 1 cup. Add potato to the milk and cereal, along with a beaten egg, honey, orange rind, and raisins. Mix well. In a smaller bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder and soda. Mix together with the wet ingredients & immediately divide into a greased muffin pan for 12. Bake in a preheated oven at 400ºF for approximately 25 minutes. Let stand for 8 - 10 minutes before removing from pan.
