Those muffins look so good! I’d be tempted to jump up and make them right now if I had some sweet potatoes. I’m pinning and sharing so I can find the recipe when I get some. If I see a good sale, I like to stock up, roast and purée them and put them in the freezer. This really doesn’t need too much.
