Though I'm just as obsessed with pumpkin as the rest of the blog-o-sphere, I decided to take a break from the squash and show some love to another one of my favorite orange ingredients.
The sweet potato.
Inspired by a sweet potato recipe in the November issue of Runner's World, I tackled some muffin making Sunday evening. I didn't have the necessary whole wheat flour or buttermilk on hand for Mark Bittman's muffins so I just Googled for another recipe. I came across this oatmeal version, which is still (relatively) healthy -- and super delicious.
With just the right amount of cinnamon and nutmeg, these muffins pretty much taste like fall. (If that doesn't make any sense to you, it will once you have a bite.)
Oh and they complement pumpkin spiced lattes quite well.
