These muffins are surprisingly unexpected. At first you may think a sweet potato muffin sounds strange, and believe me so did I, but they are so moist and delicious! The cinnamon and sweet potato make for a delicious muffin and the glaze bumps it up another notch! This recipe is relatively simple to make and I have had lots of people ask for it. Once you make it you’ll know why!
