Kamote Muffins

Kamote Muffins is a type of muffin made with Sweet Potatoes and topped with Pili Nut strussel, it was first seen here at Ang Sarap

Kamote muffins is one of those things I created because of an accident, I was thinking of making a kamote cake based on my ube cake recipe but I forgot our mixer was broken hence I made this instead. The ingredients were not planned and I just used whatever I can from our fridge and pantry, from the nearly expiring tub of sour cream, leftover pili nuts from a friend who came from a vacation in the Philippines and last exact cup of brown sugar, this was an impromptu creation.

With all of those drawbacks I still can’t believe that this muffin turned out to be really amazing, in fact it’s one of the best muffins I ever made, it was light not too crumbly, its fluffy and moist but the most important of all it does indeed taste like sweet potato. Topped with a pili streusel topping and cubes of steamed sweet potatoes, the different layers of textures make it even more interesting.

We loved it and my friends who tried them liked it as well, in fact the whole dozen was gone in a blink of an eye. You got to try this and trust my word on it.
