  • 1/2 tsp. Ginger ground
  • 1 tsp. Baking soda

  • 3/4 C. Honey
  • 1 C. Cooked sweet potato

  • In a separate large bowl, add the eggs, oil, Greek yogurt, honey, cooked sweet potato, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer, beat the batter together until fully mixed. Stir in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • To make the walnut streusel, place the walnuts into the food processor. Pulse a few times to break the pistachios into smaller pieces. In a small bowl, combine the ground walnuts, brown sugar, flour, and pinch of salt. Add the melted butter and stir together.
  • Divide the muffin batter into 12 muffin tins with muffin liners. Evenly top each muffin with the walnut streusel. Bake for 5 minutes at 400 degrees, then reduce heat to 350 degrees for 11-14 minutes more or until the batter is set. Let cool and enjoy!
