Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 12-count cupcake pan with paper liners, then spray them lightly with cooking spray.

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. In a separate bowl whisk together the egg, oil, yogurt, vanilla, brown sugar and sweet potatoes.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Do not over mix. Divide batter between the 12 cupcake wells. Top with topping (recipe below) if desired. Bake for 23-25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool in tin for 5 minutes before removing to finish cooling on cooling rack.

For the topping:
Combine topping ingredients until crumbly. This makes a big batch of topping. You won't need anywhere near all of it. I always keep a bag of this in my freezer, ready made.
