Ingredients needed for these muffins:

Sweet Potatoes: Baked until soft. Sweet potatoes have a natural sweetness so they are perfect for baked goods. They are also a nutrient rich ingredient. They are high in fiber and promote good gut health.
Flour: All purpose flour is perfect for this recipe.
Baking Powder & Baking Soda: These are the leavening agents. They will help give rise to your muffins, which gives them a lightness when baked.
Cinnamon & Nutmeg: These spices add warmth to the recipe.
Salt: Adding a pinch of salt to recipes enhances the flavors.
Brown Butter: Brown butter adds a rich nuttiness to recipes. It is easily created by placing butter in a small saucepan over medium low heat and cook until melted and foamy. Continue cooking stirring occasionally, until liquid turns golden in color and brown bits start to form on the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat and pour in a glass bowl, brown bits and all, allow to cool slightly before using.
Brown Sugar & Granulated Sugar: Both used for added sweetness. You can use light or dark brown sugar. I like to use dark for the added molasses flavor, but light brown sugar will work as well.
Eggs: This is your binder. Best to have them at room temperature.
Plain Greek Yogurt: It’s acidity helps activate the baking soda which will give your muffins rise.
Pecans: For added crunch
