Ingredients: 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature; 2 cups sucanat (organic) or 2 cups light brown sugar; 4 large eggs (organic); 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (organic); 1 cup applesauce (organic); 1 1/2 cups sweet potato puree (organic); 3 cups flour (organic); 1/4 cup ground flax seeds (organic); 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; 1 teaspoon salt; 2 teaspoons cinnamon (organic); 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (organic); 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (organic); cinnamon sugar (optional)

Servings: persons

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups sucanat (organic) or 2 cups light brown sugar
4 large eggs (organic)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (organic)
1 cup applesauce (organic)
1 1/2 cups sweet potato puree (organic)
3 cups flour (organic)
1/4 cup ground flax seeds (organic)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon (organic)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (organic)
4 ounces cream cheese, softened (organic)
cinnamon sugar (optional)

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F In the meantime, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Sucanat is grainier than sugar and won't cream the same way-it'll work fine so long as the sucanat and butter are well mixed.
2
Add eggs, vanilla, applesauce and sweet potato to butter-sugar combo and mix well on low speed.
3
Combine all dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Slowly add to the wet ingredients while continuing to mix on low speed.
4
Fill each well of a greased, 1-ounce mini muffin tray half way. Add a 1/4 tsp dollop of cream cheese on top of batter. Finish filling each well to the rim. Sprinkle each muffin with cinnamon sugar.
5
Bake for 18-20 minutes. Muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (except for some cream cheese filling)! Sprinkle some more cinnamon sugar on top. Allow muffins to cool in tray for about 5 minutes. Finish cooling on a baking rack.
