Instructions
To prepare potatoes:
Use a fork to pierce the potatoes and place them on a baking sheet lined with foil.
Bake them at 400 degrees, for around 45 minutes. Until they become soft when poked with a fork.
Take them out of the oven. Let them cool down. Once cooled peel off the skin and mash the potato until it becomes smooth. Measure out 3 cups of potato.
To make the muffins:
In a bowl combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
In another bowl whisk together sugar, vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla extract.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until they are well combined. Then gently fold in the mashed potato.
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (163°C).
Pour the muffin batter into muffin tins or cups filling each two-thirds full.
If you prefer using flaxseed meal as a topping sprinkle it on top of the muffins.
Bake in the preheated oven, for 30 minutes. Until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
