I agree. I do have a preference for sweet potatoes over pumpkins for fall recipes too.

Last year I was introduced to sweet potato pie. Do these taste like pumpkin muffins?

Hi! they do taste a little like pumpkin muffins but without the pumpkin spice seasoning. I also think that sweet potato is naturally sweeter than pumpkins. I hope you'll try this recipe.
