Ingredients
Muffin Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup cooking oil
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 piece egg large
- 1 tsp vanilla
Crumble Topping Ingredients
- ¼ cup old-fashioned oatmeal
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line your muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set these aside and move on to making the muffins.
- First, in a medium sized bowl, stir together the flour, oatmeal, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a separate, smaller bowl, stir together the mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, oil, milk, egg, and vanilla until fully combined.
- Add the sweet potato mixture to the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon just until all of the dry ingredients are moistened. Do not over mix the muffins or they will turn out tough.
- Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared pan. Fill the muffin cups about halfway full.
- Now, mix up the crumble topping. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar and oats. Drizzle the melted butter over all of these and mix them well with a fork. Sprinkle the oat mixture over the top of the muffins, evenly dividing it among the muffins.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before you remove them and place them on a wire rack to completely cool.
- Store the muffins in an airtight container for up to three days or in the freezer for up to a month.
