Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes: The main ingredient providing natural sweetness and moisture. Use freshly cooked sweet potatoes or canned if short on time.
All-Purpose Flour: The base ingredient that gives structure to the bread. You can substitute it with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
Baking Powder: Helps the bread rise and become fluffy. Ensure it’s fresh for optimal results.
Cinnamon & Nutmeg: Spice up the flavor with these warm spices that complement the sweetness of the sweet potatoes.
Eggs: Bind the ingredients and create a tender texture. Use flax eggs or another egg substitute for a vegan option.
Brown Sugar: Add just the right amount of sweetness and moisture. You can use coconut sugar as a healthier alternative.
Vanilla Extract: Enhances the overall flavor profile of the bread.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the sweet potato mixture and stir until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use Fresh Sweet Potatoes: When using fresh sweet potatoes, make sure to steam or bake them until tender before mashing.
Don’t Overmix: Mix until just combined to maintain a fluffy texture—overmixing can result in dense bread.
