Ingredients
Makes approximately 18 muffins, 3 small loaves, or 1 large loaf1 3/4 cup (1 15 oz. can) pureed sweet potatoes1 1/2 cup brown sugar1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened3 eggs3-4 cups all-purpose unbleached flour2 tablespoons baking powder1 teaspoon ground cinnamon1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg2 cups chopped walnuts or chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350.
Combine the pumpkin, brown sugar, butter, and eggs and mix until creamy. In a separate bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients except the nuts or chocolate chips. Mix 3 cups of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, then add as much of the 4th cup as necessary to achieve the proper consistency (moist, but thick enough to stand a spoon in). Add the nuts or chocolate chips and stir in.
Pour or spoon the batter into greased muffin tins or bread pans. Bake on the center rack until a toothpick poked into the center comes out dry. At sea level, muffins should take between 20 and 25 minutes to bake, small loaves between 25 and 30 minutes, and full sized loaves between 50 minutes and 1 hour.
