Don’t let that leftover mashed potato go to waste when you can turn it into delicious mashed potato muffins. These sweet muffins are a simple snack idea or lunch box filler.

They have sultanas and cinnamon for a sweet flavour and are easy to make.

This recipe will make approximately 12 medium-sized muffins. We often use a mini muffin tray instead, to make perfect little bite-size lunch-box muffins for the kid’s bento boxes.

Mashed Potato Muffins

What to do when you have leftover mashed potato? All too often we do this so these muffins are a great way of using up the excess mash.

Or mash up some potatoes just for the purpose of making a batch of these yummy muffins, which are perfect for lunch boxes, morning tea or snack time.

Unlike most potato muffin recipes, this is a sweet recipe. You can enjoy these as a dessert substitute or to curb your sweet tooth cravings for morning tea.

Tips For A Perfect Sweet Muffin Top

When it comes to muffin tops, I definitely prefer mine in the kitchen! And just like my loaf recipe, these muffins are better with a little extra love before you bake them.

Once your mix is divided between your muffin tray sections, sprinkle each muffin with a generous amount of sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Add a small dab of butter to each muffin as well.

This will give your muffins a crispier, sweet, golden-brown muffin crust that makes them that little bit extra!

  Just Google "kids bento boxes" and you will find a plethora of choices in all price ranges. Years ago Tupperware had something similar (we had two for each family member plus pets), and now a hot and trendy item, but useful to have.

  Actually, I didn't even know they made such containers, don't really remember the Tupperware ones. I was curious what you would put in a kids Bento Box.
