Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large bowl, mix the mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Add the vegetable oil, eggs, dark rum, and vanilla extract to the sweet potato mixture, stirring until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
