Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.

  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, 3/4 tsp cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt; whisk thoroughly and set aside.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, evaporated milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and sweet potato puree until well blended.

  4. Stir the dry flour mixture into the sweet potato batter until just moistened; the batter will be lumpy.

  5. Fold in pecans and optional toffee bits.

  6. Fill muffin cups nearly full.

  7. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.

  8. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over each muffin.

  9. Bake for 22 to 26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
