Homemade Sweet Potato Quick Bread

I really enjoy making homemade quick breads like this one for breakfasts and snacks. This sweet potato bread is like fall in a loaf pan. It’s sweet, spicy and delicious.

The nutmeg is pretty strong so, if you don’t happen to like that flavor, I would reduce the amount. You could mix things up by adding dried fruit, nuts or making them into muffins. I know you and your loved ones will enjoy this recipe as much as we did. Happy fall friends!

Can I substitute pumpkin in this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute pumpkin or butternut squash puree, although it may change the consistency of the batter and you may also need to adjust cooking times.

  1. Hi! I saw this recipe on Pinterest and tried it for the first time today and my family loved it! Very tender/moist, with a bit of chew to the crust. A perfect quick bread! I'm going to double the recipe and freeze them next time. Thank you for a wonderful recipe! :)

  4. Hi hi! This recipe looks easy, and yummy, but ... I do not like sweets, or breads that are too greasy. If I wanted to reduce the sugar to 1/4 cup, as well as the oil to 1/4 cup, do you have any suggestions as to how to make up the liquid lost from the oil? Could I add 1/4 cup yogurt, or milk? Thank you so much ... love your website too!

  5. Last night I made pork loin, baked sweet potatoes, and steamed broccoli for dinner. Today I took the leftover sweet potatoes and mashed them and there was exactly enough for a double batch of your bread. My wife and kids are loving this recipe! I served thick slices with a dab of apple butter and it was delicious. We will definitely be making this again. Thank you!

  8. This sweet potato bread is so tasty! I followed the recipe and it turned out perfect. I did use baked sweet potatoes that I had saved in the fridge for this purpose. Baking the potatoes make them much sweeter in my opinion. And when the bread was done it was so good with butter or a sweetened cream cheese spreadD. It's also wonderful plain.. Yes will definitely be making this all fall and winter.. #sweetpotatobread #bakingbread #fallbakingbread #homemadebreadbaking #sweetpotatoes
