I made these using frozen squash, but they were not sweet enough. I will try the sweet potato next time.

These look so so yummie! I can’t wait to make them.

But, I do not love rapadura. Neither does my husband. I guess we just can’t get over the molasses taste in foods we don’t want to taste like molasses. Maybe I should try it again, since it’s been like a year since we tried it last. I use dehydrated cane juice, which is more like real sugar.

I made these for lunch today. The reaction was mixed from the kids. They are not big sweet potato fans at all, but they ate them! My kids that do like sweet potatoes loved these muffins and asked for seconds, and thirds!

I meant “your stuff” by the way. You think I’d proofread my comments!

Laura,
Yes, I do love rapadura, especially for baking!

I started a healthy eating and living blog a few months ago and found your blog when searching for recipes. I’ve tried some of our stuff and it’s great! Do you mind if I link to your blog in reference to some recipes and your “Getting Real with Eating Series?”

I was wondering – is there a reason for baking the sweet potato in the oven rather than boiling or microwaving (which would be quicker)?

The recipe sounds great, but does it still TASTE like sweet potato?

I have found rapadura here in Australia, but I can only buy online from another state and it costs as much for 500g as I would normally pay for about 5kg of normal sugar. So I am interested in finding out why it is considered so much better for our health than regular brown or raw sugar.

Is rapadura available some where on line or maybe at Whole Foods Market for cheaper than what I saw today at a local store? It was over $5 for 24 ounces. I decided to wait on buying it until I checked on line and with you…

Thanks,
Heather

I just made these and they are so good! Well I didn’t make these exactly. I had to tweak your recipe since I didn’t have all the ingridients on hand. I was making baby food this a.m. and had some mashed up yams (garnet reds) so I used those instead. These are the changes I made:
2 cups whole wheat (1c.soft white/1c.hard white)
2tsp. baking powder
1tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2tsp sea salt
1/3 cup honey (ran out then)
1/4 cup olive oil (to compensate for lost moisture from lack of honey)
4 packets stevia (to compensate for lack of sweetness from lost honey)
1 egg
1 cup mashed yams
1/2 c. milk
3 T. melted butter
sprinkled w/ evaporated cane juice on top.
I am sure yours were delicious as is, but I think these turned out pretty good for last minute changes! Thanks for the recipe. Definately a keeper…next time I will try it w/out changes!!
