The original recipe is for bananas but I swap it for sweet potatoes since that's what available at the time. You can even substitute it with durians. Just blend the durians with a spoonful of milk or coconut milk if you want to go all the way tropical. Just make sure that the mixture is a bit runny and not clumpy or the muffins will turn out too dense.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup caster sugar
3/4 cup mashed sweet potatoes ( it's better to steam then boil)
1 tblsp golden syrup
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 eggs ( grade A)
150 g butter ( melted and cooled)
Icing sugar to dust the muffins
Method
1. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and caster sugar into a large bowl and make a well in the centre.
2. Beat the sweet potatoes, golden syrup, vanilla essence and eggs together. Stir into the dry ingredients and fold in the melted butter.
3. Grease the muffin tins with a little bit of butter and put in the paper case. Fill 3/4 full but I prefer to fill it up so that the result will be stunning. Bake at 220 C for 12 mins. ( do not forget to turn the oven on at least for 15 mins before putting the muffin in). Test by putting a skewer in and it come out clean.
4. Let it cool in the tin for 2-3 mins before dusting it with icing sugar .
