Honey Tips
How Honey Is Created
Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°.
Microwave sweet potato on high 5 minutes, or until cooked, or boil sweet potato in a saucepan until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool, then peel and cut into pieces. Puree potato in a food processor until smooth. Set aside.
Spray two 8-cup muffin tins with cooking spray or line them with paper liners. In a large bowl sift together dry ingredients.
Cream butter and brown sugar together in a separate bowl. Add eggs and beat well. Stir in milk, honey and sweet potato puree; mix well.
Make a well in the center of dry ingredients. Add the potato mixture. Stir until the ingredients are just combined. Do not overmix.
