These not so sweet, gluten-free sweet potato cheese cupcakes are soft. delicious, and healthy. It is so easy to make these cupcakes as no electric mixer is needed. The soft, custard-like texture just melts in your mouth after they are baked. The combination is perfect, with the nice aroma of the sweet potato and golden syrup. They are great to serve for any occasion, as these cupcakes can be baked one or two days ahead and be stored in the refrigerator before they are served.
