Sweet Potato Molasses Spinach Muffins – via metropolitanmama
Makes 4 dozen mini muffins
Ingredients:
* 1/4 cup chopped organic raisins
* 2 eggs
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 1/4 cup canola oil (could substitute apple sauce for some of this to make healthier)
* 1 cup chopped, fresh spinach (I used frozen)
* 1/4 tsp salt
* 1/3 cup molasses
* 1/2 cup buttermilk
* 1 tsp cinnamon
* 1/2 cup light brown sugar
* 1 3/4 cup unbleached flour (I used 1 cup white and 3/4 cup whole wheat)
* 1/3 tsp ginger
* 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato (microwaved or baked, not boiled)
* 1 tsp baking powder
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line mini muffin tins. Mix raisins and wet ingredients in a bowl till smooth; mix dry ingredients in another bowl. Combine the two, mix till blended. Spoon batter into muffin tins and bake on middle shelf till lightly browned (about 10 min. for mini muffins). Delicious and loaded with vitamin A and iron!
