Sweet Potato Bread
This sweet potato bread is one of those recipes that feels like home to me. It's moist, tender, and lightly spiced with fall flavors. But what I love most is how simple it is to make. Just combine the dry and wet ingredients separately, then combine them together and bake. Easy!
Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet potatoes (cooked and mashed)
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ⅓ cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (spooned and levelled)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sweet potatoes, sugar, oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
- Scrape the batter into the loaf pan.
- Bake for about 55-60 minutes, placing a piece of tinfoil over the top halfway through, until golden brown or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (some crumbs are okay, but there should be no streaks of wet batter).
