Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

I got this recipe from Christian's a couple of years ago. The muffins are delicious. Misplaced my recipe, so glad to have found it. My husband doesn't even like muffins, but he loved these.

This recipe was super delicious! The changes I made were simple ones based on personal taste. Normally I use pecans instead of walnuts. This time I chose to omit nuts. Also, I used equal portions of white sugar and brown sugar. My sweet potato muffins are a family hit!

The batter was very wet and the consistency of the muffins were dense and did not rise much--less sugar would be advised. Overall flavor was tasty, the spices were just the right amount. They were edible just too moist. Revisions suggested--the recipe has promise.

I made these with leftover mashed sweet potatoes. They were delicious. Everyone, including sweet potato-haters, loved them.

I have used this recipe for over 20 years. I misplaced my cookbook in a move, and I'm glad to know that I can get it online. These are great for the holiday!
