Sweet Potato Muffins

These muffins are so tasty and have no oil or refined sugar! I found the recipe at Have Cake, Will Travel!

Next time I make these, I will definitely add some chopped nuts or raisins. But- I will definitely be making these again. The original recipe calls for nutmeg, which would have been great- but my husband doesn't really like nutmeg- so I omitted it. They were great even without!
