Inspired by Starbucks® zucchini bread. I thought sweet potato would be the perfect complement to the zucchini. This is just a great breakfast treat that even the kids will enjoy! Serve with a little butter and syrup. Yum!

The recipe was very good! I did modify it a bit because the sweet potato & zucchini were not measured I used about 2 1/4 C Sweet Potato and 1 1/2 C Zucchini and added another cup of Bisquick. Cooking time 25 minutes. I also used both a muffin tin and silicon cups sprayed with Pam and had no trouble with removing muffins from either! Read More

I wanted to like this recipe. An actual measurement of mashed sweet potato and shredded zucchini would be much more helpful. I added approximately one cup of mashed sweet potato (that I had microwaved the day before) and about 1 cup of shredded zucchini. When the ingredients were all mixed together the batter was far too thin as compared to other muffins I've made before. I added about 1/4 cup of old fashioned oats to try to soak up some of the liquid. I ended up with 12 muffins which stuck to the liners and a small mini loaf. The texture of the final product is very spongy. They are very sweet. I hope that my husband's coworkers who will eat anything will eat these. Sorry I won't make these again. Read More
