Chef John's Sweet Potato Muffins Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Muffin Recipes. (Chef John's Sweet Potato Muffins Recipe). Instead of sweet potato pie (which I'm not that fond of), I made sweet potato muffins and I was thrilled with the results. Muffin or cupcake? Frosted or unfrosted? Doesn't matter--these really are fantastic.
