Main Ingredients- 2.5 cups hotcake mix
- 0.5 cup milk (approx. 120ml)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup mashed boiled sweet potato (approx. 150g)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and peel them. Place them in a pot with plenty of water and boil until they are very tender. You’ll know they’re ready when a chopstick or fork can easily pierce through them. Once cooked, drain the water and turn off the heat.
Step 2
While the sweet potatoes are still warm, use a fork to mash them until smooth. Mashing them while warm prevents lumps and ensures they incorporate well into the batter.
Step 3
In a large bowl, lightly beat the egg with a whisk. Then, add the 0.5 cup of milk (about 120ml) and whisk until well combined and smooth.
Step 4
Add the 2.5 cups of hotcake mix to the wet ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; overmixing can result in tough muffins.
Step 5
Add the 1 cup of mashed boiled sweet potato to the batter. Gently fold it in until evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Ensure there are no large clumps of sweet potato.
Step 6
Lightly grease your muffin tin cups with oil or line them with paper liners. This step prevents the muffins from sticking, making them easy to remove after baking.
Step 7
Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 80-90% full. Overfilling can cause the batter to spill over the sides as they bake.
Step 8
Bake in a preheated oven using the muffin setting for about 25 minutes. If using a conventional oven, bake at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 25 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean.
