Sweet Potato, Ginger, Coconut, White Chocolate Muffins
Whoever thought of this ingredient combination was genius. I can't take all the credit, because it was someone else's recipe on Pinterest that caught my eye. It probably caught your eye too. I added coconut and white chocolate chips and some flax meal and created what I think is a masterpiece. The banana chocolate muffins are our all-time favorite, but these come in at a close second.
They are lovely. The perfect addition to a fall meal or a cup of evening tea.
The trick to these muffins is getting the red sweet potatoes {yams} baked up real soft. They'll start to caramelize just a bit and the skin falls away from the soft flesh. Skin, mash and chill your yam before adding it to the rest of the ingredients.
