 Breads - Sweet Potato Muffins with Candied Ginger
by mary
| Description |
Chunks of candied ginger make this great, but if you prefer replace the ginger with chopped dates, raisins, or dried pineapple. Serve these muffins with a soft cheese like brie or cream cheese to make a wonderful snack. |

- 1/4 cup butter, melted, or vegetable oil

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Oil or spray muffin tins. Mix the ginger and wet ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Mix the dry ingredients in a second bowl.
