Personal Notes:
Our family loves the sweet potato muffins served at the Riverside in Swansboro, NC, but the recipe is a secret. So, Maia and I decided to develop a recipe of our own that would exceed the taste and texture "experience" of the Riverside muffin. "Focus group studies and literature research" resulted in four potential recipes. The resulting muffins were evaluated by other "focus groups" familiar with the Riverside muffin. This recipe, we believe, rivals the Riverside muffin in taste, texture, and appearance. Direct side by side comparisons with the
Riverside muffin are planned the next time we are all together in Emerald Isle.
