For August, I wanted to do a sweet potato muffin, as it exemplifies the flavors of early autumn with sweet potatoes, pecans and cinnamon.

These are fairly easy to do and are perfect as a pack-in for  lunch or with coffee and tea at breakfast as well as in the  afternoon as a pick-me-up.

I was happy with how moist these turned out to be. It goes well with the little bit of crunch on top from the streusel  sprinkle. The little bit of extra sugar and pecans adds just the right touch.
