One of my top ten favorite foods are anything made with sweet potatoes! Specifically Candied Yams. I’v experimenting with ways to use leftover Candied Yams. And yes there’s always some leftover since I make sure to make more than enough. I like them for breakfast with some really good coffee.

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. This WILL be your next favorite muffin to make all year long.

The perfect thing to serve for breakfast morning after Thanksgiving.

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