I have always been wanting to try purple sweet potatoes, but I can never find them! Fortunately I had the chance to try some amazing Stokes purple sweet potatoes from Frieda’s Specialty Produce! These are non-gmo, organic and grown in California! Frieda’s is especially known for their exotic unusual (but awesome!) stock of fruits and veggies that are rarely found in supermarkets! I love that they have so many cool produce items to try, from banana buds to dragon fruit! Anything you could ever want and more! All of their produce is the highest qaulity! I can’t wait to try some new fruits and veggies from Frieda’s Produce!

Now onto the the recipe: Purple sweet potato pie Muffins! Don’t be alarmed by the purple color, I promise you that these tater’s taste exactly like regular sweet taters, except they are richer/denser, AKA better! Don’t get me wrong, I love regular sweet potatoes, but these purple sweet potatoes are on a whole new level! Especially in these pancakes! They help to sweeten and give great texture to these thanksgiving-themed muffins!

I actually saw some purple sweet potatoes at the farmer’s market a few weeks ago! I was curious what they tasted like and if they were generally similar to orange sweet potatoes, but just a different color. Good to know they are 🙂

I love them too! They taste better than regular sweet taters!
I’m a bit confused. Although you call these muffins & supply photos of muffins, the directions appear to describe how to make pancakes.
Yum! I love sweet potato, especially the gorgeous purple ones!
me too!
