This recipe came from Allrecipes. I tweaked it only slightly. I love sweet potatoes & honey! I don't think I have made a recipe with honey. But, I use it on things, like biscuits, waffles, etc. Anyway, I am looking forward to making them. I would like to put more sweet potatoes in the recipe, but don't know how that would be. Might be too heavy. So, might try that at a later time. Hope you enjoy the muffins!
