Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed, cooked sweet potato

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.

Step 2
Mix sweet potato, egg whites, sugar, water, applesauce, canola oil, vanilla extract, and orange zest together in a bowl.

Whisk all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a separate bowl. Mix flour mixture into sweet potato mixture until just combined. Gently stir cranberry sauce into batter. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin tin.
