Step 1

In medium sized mixing bowl, place drained sweet potatoes. Mash up with a fork. Add egg and water and mash/stir until it is well combined. Add in muffin mix, reserving the topping packet for later. Stir until well combined and no dry spots remain. Mixture will still be lumpy but that is fine.

Step 2

Line a muffin tin with muffin papers.

Step 3

Divide batter evenly among 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle about a tablespoon of brown sugar packet (that came with mix) over tops. There will be topping left but you don’t have to use it all. Sprinkle chopped pecans over the top of that, if desired.

Step 4

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, or until lightly brown and springs back when you gently press the center.
