It’s like the icing on the cake (or the crumble on the muffin, in this case!), and I highly recommend giving it a try.

Notes and Adaptations:

  • Although the streusel topping is optional, I love the added sweetness and hint of crunch that it brings. I highly recommend adding it!
  • If you don’t have sour cream on hand, I’d recommend using plain Greek yogurt instead.
  • I buy canned sweet potato puree from Thrive Market (get 40% off your first order here). Some grocery stores sell it, but not all do. You can also get it from Amazon or make your own! You can also substitute pumpkin puree instead and make pumpkin muffins.
  • Muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for about 3 days. You can also freeze them if you’d like!
  • You can make your own homemade Bisquick if preferred.
  • Want a cake version? Try this sweet potato pound cake or a sweet potato bundt cake from a mix!
