Notes

In preparation for baking these muffins, I simply washed (scrubbed) two sweet potatoes and placed them on a baking sheet. I drizzled each potato with canola oil and poked them with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake the sweet potatoes for 45-50 minutes in the oven at 400 degrees. This can be done a few hours before or the day before making the muffins. It is important to allow the potatoes to cool before adding them to your recipe. When cool, remove the skins and mash the sweet potatoes. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
