TIME
About 25 minutes

SERVING SIZE
Makes about 6 muffins

Ingredients

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Have all ingredients at room temperature.
  • Measure milk and set aside.
  • Melt butter.
  • Put muffin mix in a medium sized mixing bowl, make a well in the center and add the egg, milk and melted butter.
  • Stir until well combined, but don’t over-mix. Let batter rest while you grease a 6-cup muffin tin.
  • Fill muffin cups using all the batter, they should all be filled to the top.
  • Bake in upper half of oven until golden brown and tops are set, 12-15 minutes. Be careful not to over-bake these muffins or they will be too dry.
  • Transfer muffins to a cooling rack (or, if you can’t wait, eat the hot out of the oven!)

Menu Suggestions

These delicious muffins taste great with cream cheese and a cup of hot tea.

Bake With Better Grain

A few more notes from the mill kitchen

Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Muffins sits in the sweeter side of the mill kitchen, where freshness still matters even when the recipe looks simple. Cookies, muffins, cakes, doughnuts, pancakes, and pie components all benefit from flour that still tastes alive instead of acting like a blank white powder.

Flavor starts before the sugar

Sweet bakes usually get credited to butter, spice, maple, fruit, or chocolate, but the flour underneath them sets the ceiling. Fresh stone-ground grain brings more nuttiness, more aroma, and a fuller crumb so the final bake tastes rounded instead of one-note sweet.

That does not mean every recipe needs to be heavy or aggressively whole grain. It means the base ingredient can contribute enough flavor that the rest of the formula feels more intentional and less dependent on extra sugar or frosting.

Use the short post as a starting point

Many of these older blog recipes are fast references rather than full teaching pages. The related links below help readers compare flour options, move into the full shop catalog, or find related mill guides before the next bake.

That gives a simple recipe a clearer path into the rest of the mill kitchen instead of leaving it as a one-off note.
