Sweet Potato Muffins with Caramel Sea Salt Butter main

Private Selection sent me the collection of their new sweet and savory finishing butters to try out in some of my cooking/baking.  I have to say I seriously love them!  The savory butters include Lemon Garlic & Herbs, Lemon Pepper, and Roasted Garlic & Herbs.  And the sweet ones include Honey, Cinnamon Brown Sugar and Caramel Sea Salt.

Yeah, Caramel Sea Salt butter.  I’d like to eat that one right out of the tub.  {Maybe I did.}  I’m turning into my mother-in-law you guys.  She loves, no really, she loves butter.  She sent me this the other day and I got a good chuckle.

I think my mother-in-law needs these Private Selection finishing butters.  Butter lover heaven.  I’ve been using the butters on everything.  Veggies, pasta, muffins, toast, rolls, breads.  And I made these amazing sweet potato muffins using the Caramel Sea Salt butter.  The pairing was perfect.  I used a little of the butter in the muffins and slathered a good amount all over the top of them, right out of the oven.  And maybe on the insides too. 

They pretty much taste like dessert, and they were long gone before lunch.  I’m a big fan of dessert for breakfast.  But these would also good for your Thanksgiving spread.  Or use up the leftover sweet potatoes with these muffins.

  14. Sweet Potato Muffins! You are some sort of genius. I am attracted to these finishing butters, what about that Roasted Garlic & Herbs one over some roasted eggplant – could be good.

    btw – I follow you ver single way that there is I think!

  17. Those muffins look absolutely decadent! I’d love to try out a new Kroger product, I swear I just about live in that store and am always pleased with their storebrand products. They are certainly a brand that buying storebrand is an upgrade rather than a downgrade.

  31. I could do SO much with that butter. Those muffins are perfect, we have 2 tubs of purple sweet potatoes from our CSA, I need to go through them.

  47. This recipe sounds absolutely delightful. I’ll be sure to pin it and save it for Thanksgiving dinner (and the following morning’s early breakfast!).
    I would love to try the Honey Finishing Butter! Maybe on a freshly baked biscuit? Mmm.

  51. I don’t have a Kroger in our area. A matter in fact there’s is one at all on the east coast. Any suggestions on where to find it? The stores around here do not carry the Carmel Sea Salt butter, so I just made my own. Love these muffins. Thanks for the recipe.

  58. I just made these muffins a few days ago because sweet potatoes are one of my most favorite things, and these looked delicious! However, when I went to actually make these muffins, I realized how poorly written this recipe is. You instruct us to put the flour, cinnamon, etc. in a bowl, mix, and set aside. And then move on to what we should be putting in our mixer’s bowl. However, you never actually go back and tell us when we should be adding the flour into our mixer’s bowl with the eggs, oil, etc. I don’t bake all that often, but luckily my sister is a pastry chef and I asked her when it would be most appropriate to add the flour back in. Unfortunately, not everyone would be able to do that and may struggle with this recipe. My muffins were on the dry side, but since I didn’t have the special finishing butter maybe that’s why, and regular butter is not satisfactory. Overall, I am really disappointed because I was looking forward to these muffins, but I think I may try again but making my own alterations to make them more moist.
