I received the following recipe via email from Earthbound Farm and I wanted to share with you since it sounds so yummy! I can’t wait to try it!
Ingredients
- 1 pound Earthbound Farm Organic Garnet or Jewel Yams (peeled and cubed)
- 1/2 cup Sour cream
- 1 large Egg
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/4 cup Milk
- 1-1/2 cups Unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 tablespoon Pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 3/4 cup Fresh or frozen cranberries (coarsely chopped)
Directions
- Steam the yams on a rack or in a steamer basket over boiling water until very tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Mash or press the yams through a sieve to create a smooth purée. You need 1 cup of purée for this recipe; extra purée can be frozen.
- Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Blend the 1 cup of yam purée with the sour cream, egg, butter and milk in a small bowl and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and soda, spice, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the liquid ingredients and stir until partially combined. Add the cranberries and stir until the batter is just combined; don’t overmix or your muffins will be tough. The batter will be thick.
- Scoop or spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling to the brim. Bake until muffins are golden and spring back when lightly pressed, about 15 to 20 minutes. Set pan on wire rack to cool.
- Makes 12 muffins
