Add half of the flour mixture to sweet potato mixture; mix until combined. Add half of the buttermilk mixture, mixing until just combined. Scrape bowl; repeat with remaining flour and buttermilk mixtures. Stir in white vanilla baking chips. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling about three-fourths full.
  3. Bake 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack.
