Ingredients

  • 3 medium Sweet potatoes (peeled, cooked until soft, then mashed)
  • 2 boxes (8.5 oz each) Jiffy corn muffin mix (original flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons Honey (adds extra sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons Sweetened condensed milk (drizzled into batter)
  • 1/3 cup Whole milk (room temperature)
  • 1 Large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (pure vanilla)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch Ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons Dark brown sugar
  • few drops Red food coloring (adds orange‑red hue)
  • few drops Yellow food coloring (adds yellow hue)
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
  • as needed Non‑stick cooking spray (to grease muffin pan)

Instructions

  1. Cook sweet potatoes

    Pierce the three sweet potatoes with a fork, place them on a microwave‑safe plate and microwave on high for 8‑10 minutes, turning halfway, until they are completely soft.

    Time: PT10M

  2. Mash sweet potatoes

    Peel the cooked sweet potatoes and mash them in the mixing bowl until smooth, adding a splash of milk if needed to eliminate lumps.

    Time: PT5M

  3. Combine dry and wet ingredients

    Add the two boxes of Jiffy corn muffin mix, honey, sweetened condensed milk, 1/3 cup milk, the large egg, vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, dark brown sugar, a few drops each of red and yellow food coloring, and the melted butter to the mashed sweet potatoes. Stir with a whisk or hand mixer just until everything is incorporated; a few small lumps are okay.

    Time: PT10M

  4. Prepare the muffin pan

    Spray the 12‑cup muffin pan generously with non‑stick cooking spray.

    Time: PT2M

  5. Fill the muffin cups

    Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

    Time: PT5M

  6. Bake the muffins

    Place the pan in the pre‑heated oven and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden.

    Time: PT30M

    Temperature: 350°F

  7. Cool and serve

    Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack and let cool completely before serving.

    Time: PT10M
