sweet potato bread

Moist, spiced, and naturally sweet, this sweet potato bread is the perfect cozy treat for breakfast or snacking. Made with pantry staples and baked to golden perfection, it’s a comforting loaf you’ll want to make again and again.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf (about 10 slices) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mashed sweet potato
  • 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together mashed sweet potato, brown sugar, eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release air bubbles.
  6. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use cooked and mashed sweet potato, not raw chunks.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep the loaf tender.
  • Add-ins like nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips can be folded into the batter.
  • This bread tastes even better the next day.
