Yammy Muffins

Sweet potatoes are a fall favorite in our Happy Kitchen classes. They’re affordable and nutritious. They pair well with sweet or savory flavors. They don’t spoil quickly, so it’s easy to keep a few on hand for a last-minute side dish or to bulk up a soup or stew.

Looking to add more sweet potatoes to your fall meals? Try these Yammy Muffins for breakfast or dessert! You can even prepare the dry ingredients and use it as a baking mix throughout the season. Baked and cooled muffins freeze well, too.
