I love to bake. I haven’t baked in awhile, so I decided to make dessert for Thanksgiving last week. I got the recipe at How Sweet It Is.
I boiled a sweet potato and turned it into a smooth mashed potato in the food processor.
It was time to crush the graham crackers. I put a few graham crackers into a Ziploc bag. At first, I was getting my frustrations out by crushing it with my hand. This was taking too long, so I grabbed a wooden spoon which made the job a lot easier. I mixed the graham crackers with the melted butter and sugar.
I put the crushed graham crackers mix (I used 1 1/2 tablespoons) on the bottle of the cupcake liners creating a tasty crust.
I whisked together the rest of the ingredients making a lovely sweet potato cupcake batter. What a lovely color!
I put in about 1/4 cup of the batter in each cupcake and then popped it into the oven.
I mixed up the marshmallow frosting which is super sweet.
The cupcakes turned out great.
They’re sweet and moist which I think every cupcake should be. It shouldn’t need a frosting to make it good. The frosting makes it even better. I eat the cupcake without the frosting since I know how much sugar is in that frosting! George loves these cupcakes. He loves sweets.
What dessert did you make for Thanksgiving?

These look fabulous. I love cupcakes and anything with cinamon in is a bonus. I have never cooked with sweet potato but will give it a try. Thanks for sharing, Tracey xx #abitofeverything

Thanks! These cupcakes are delish. I love the smell and taste of cinnamon. Cinnamon always reminds me of Christmas.
yum! maybe i’ll surprise my mom with these next thanksgiving 🙂
You should, Roxy! They’re really tasty and easy to make.
I’d like to make these as a surprise for my nephew. He always says he doesn’t like sweet potatoes, so I wouldn’t tell him what’s in them until after he eats them.
I bet he would like these sweet potato pie cupcakes. They’re so sweet and yummy!
These would be a good fall or Thanksgiving treat.
It is perfect for the fall.
