Candied Sweet Potato Muffins with Maple Glazed Pecans

Candied Sweet Potato Muffins with Maple Glazed Pecans
candied yam muffins
This Candied (Yam) Sweet Potato Muffin will rock your muffin world with all the Fall flavors you love. Bejeweled with sweet candied yams and crunchy maple glazed pecans, you won’t know if you even want to share the first batch. artistinresidencehome.com

One of my top ten favorite foods are anything made with sweet potatoes! Specifically Candied Yams. So naturally, these Candied Sweet Potato (Yam) Muffins came to my mind. I’ve been experimenting with ways to use leftover Candied Yams. And yes there’s always some leftover since I make sure to always make more than enough. This recipe includes an easy southern stovetop recipe for Candied Yams. I like them for breakfast with my coffee and Homemade Pumpkin Spice Creamer. #candiedyams, #sweetpotatoes, #breakfastmuffins.

Fluffy and moist inside.

So instead of just making a sweet potato muffin, I diced up some of the leftover candied yams in addition to some sweet potato puree. You will not miss that sweet potato flavor in these muffins I guarantee!

I couldn’t stop there so I added some maple glazed pecans and a streusel on top. These muffins are moist and full of autumn flavor. This WILL be your next favorite muffin to make all year long.

If you really want to “WOW” them and put some extra sumpthin’ sumpthin’ on ’em, drizzle on this Espresso Glaze I used on my Dirty Chai Muffins. OMG! It’s well worth the effort. Who says Fall can’t be as decadent as Christmas. What a great thing to serve for Thanksgiving breakfast or the morning after. Make these instead of a Coffee Cake.

What’s the difference between Yams and Sweet Potatoes anyway?

Yams tend to be pointier and shorter with the flesh being white and firm, while sweet potatoes have a more round tubular shape with an orange color. So why do we call them Candied Yams if they’re sweet potatoes? It’s a kind of a mystery mess as to who called what first. Yams are popular in Africa and made it to America during the slave trade. That’s why it is considered a southern staple and probably why the term ‘yam’ was used for sweet potatoes.

This one was for fun. If the yams, streusel and pecans weren’t enough, I added an espresso glaze on top. OMG!

What could be better than to have your coffee and even more coffee in all in one muffin. This Dirty Chai Muffin recipe has you covered…all over in espresso glaze. artistinresidencehome.com

Morning Glory Muffins

This is a little twist on the Morning Glory Muffin. It being Fall and all, I used apple cider instead of orange juice, but used orange zest instead. Even with all the morning glory goodness in these, they are still light and airy. Feel good about making these for Thanksgiving morning! artistinresidencehome.com
