Sweet Potato Bread

See how to make this delicious sweet potato quick bread on gracefullittlehoneybee.com

  We just harvested our sweet potatoes last week so I’m trying some new recipes. I really enjoy making homemade quick breads 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 hope you enjoy!

 

Sweet Potato Bread

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup oil

2 eggs

1 cup mashed sweet potatoes

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1 3/4 cup flour

 

Step 1: In medium bowl, mix nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, baking soda and flour.

Step 2: In separate bowl, mix sugar, oil, eggs, sweet potatoes and vanilla.

Step 3: Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until just combined. It will be thick.

Step 4: Pour into greased loaf pan and bake for 1 hour at 350 or until knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

  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!
