A friend had sent me a link to a Pumpkin muffin recipe with a graham cracker base, not having most of the ingredients in my cabinet I decided to improvise and create my own recipe. My hubby loves Sweet Potato Pie so I thought hmm let me try making a Sweet Potato muffin. I decided to heed some of my vegetarian daughters advice to use less oil implementing applesauce and have personally been cutting back on sugars using Agave. This was a trial and error recipe much to my husbands delight there was no trial or error for it turned out as he put it very tasty! My grandsons loved the muffins and asked for seconds they enjoyed them so much. My husband took them to work and everyone asked for a copy of the recipe. These are a keeper. You can alter both sugars with splenda for the brown sugar cut amount in half for splenda brown sugar and the white sugar cut the amount in half for white splenda sugar and still use the agave its approved for diabetics.
