Sweet Potato, Cheese and Sweet Pepper Muffins






1/2 medium sized sweet potato (or equivalent amount of butternut squash)
1 1/2 cups white SR flour
1/2 cup wholemeal flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 large onion
2 eggs
A handful of chopped peppers, red, yellow and green
A handful of chopped parsley
1-2 oz cheddar
1/2 tsp chilli powder
2-3 tbs milk, the amount of milk to add depends on the flour, the mix should be slightly wetter than soft dropping consistency,
1/2 tsp salt or to taste

Cook the sweet potato, I microwaved it for 6 min. When cooked remove the skin.
Blitz the onion in a food processor or Thermomix, Add the sweet potato and blitz again.
Add the egg, peppers and parsley and blitz again.
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly.
 Divide the mixture between 12 paper cases or use a well oiled/greased muffin tray.

Cook at gas 6, 200C for 35-40 min.

These are delicious eaten hot, the outer is almost like a choux bun and are moist and soft inside.

Next time I will try adding some chopped pecans or walnuts.
