sweetpotatomuffins-2Before we headed out to Michigan this morning for the Thanksgiving holiday, I thought I would use up some leftovers for breakfast.  I had a few baked sweet potatoes in the fridge and I’d been dreaming of using them for these yummy muffins, which was a recipe I had forgotten all about until I saw the leftover sweet potatoes hanging around.  The original recipe I found online called for graham crackers.  I rarely have those around, but every time I make my favorite dessert – Banana Pudding – I buy 2 packages of vanilla wafers and have right around 1 cup leftover.  This recipe is the perfect way to use them up by substituting them for the graham crackers.

I went to IHOP once and got these things they call a cinnastack.  It was sinful.  They should have called it a sin-a-stack.  This week IHOP was offering a free small stack if you made a donation to their cause.  I tried to go with the kids but there was barely standing room in the lobby because the line was so long!  We left and I promised to make the kids IHOP style pancakes this morning.  Here’s what I came up with!

I love this recipe.  I found it years ago when someone shared it on Facebook, and no matter how hard I try, I can’t find the original location to give credit!  One of the things I love about this recipe is that it contains 6 bananas.  That’s a ton!  I don’t know about you, but when I have extra bananas, I have quite a few and my regular banana bread only takes 1!  So this is a great solution for the over ripe banana problem.  Second thing I love about it is that it holds up beautifully to substitutions.  I have a Vitamix dry container and use it to grind local wheat and spelt for flour.  But when I do that, some things just turn out really dense and wheaty.  In this recipe, I cannot tell that I used wheat flour, or raw sugar, or greek yogurt instead of sour cream.  It’s just amazing and decadent every time!  So without further ado, here is your next party pleaser.  Make sure you bring copies of the recipe with you when you take it somewhere because people will be asking!
