Instructions
1
In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger together. Set aside.
2
In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, brown sugar, eggs, milk, oil and maple extract together until well combined. Add in the sweet potatoes and mix. Add in the flour and stir until the batter is well combined.
3
In a small bowl, mix the dark brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon and stir together (this is the mix that will go in the middle of the muffins).
4
In another small bowl, mix the dark brown sugar, oats, flour, pecans, salt and cinnamon and mix. Cut the butter into small cubes and add to the bowl. Use your hands and make the streusel into a crumbly mixture.
5
Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Using a cookie scoop, place one scoop of muffin batter in the bottom of each liner.
6
Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of the middle mixture on top, tap it down gently and cover it with another scoop of batter. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter over the top of the center sugar/pecan mix.
7
Top with a tablespoon of the streusel and gently press it into the batter to keep it from falling off during baking. Repeat until all the batter is gone.
8
Place the trays in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out cleanly. Remove and allow to cool.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Dry Your Sweet Potatoes Thoroughly 🥔After cooking and pureeing sweet potatoes, strain excess moisture through a fine mesh or cheesecloth for 15-20 minutes to prevent soggy, dense muffins with uneven texture.
- Brown Your Streusel Butter First 🧈Toast the butter for your pecan streusel topping until it's golden brown and nutty, which adds incredible depth of flavor that elevates the entire muffin experience.
- Bloom Your Spices in Oil 🌰Mix your cinnamon and ginger with a tablespoon of oil before adding to the batter to activate and distribute their essential oils evenly throughout for maximum spice flavor.
- Don't Overmix the Batter 🥣Stir wet and dry ingredients until just combined—overmixing develops gluten and creates tough, rubbery muffins instead of the tender, tender crumb you're aiming for.
- Fill Muffin Cups Strategically 🎯Fill cups two-thirds full with batter, add a small spoonful of streusel in the center, then top with remaining batter to trap the streusel inside for bursts of texture in every bite.
