This recipe is all about simplicity and accessibility. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 medium sweet potatoes)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil

If you’re feeling adventurous, toss in a handful of chopped nuts or raisins for extra texture and flavor—my kids love the crunch of walnuts in theirs!
Instructions
Here’s how you can bring this delicious bread to life in your kitchen:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the mashed sweet potatoes and milk to the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
As you bake, the aroma of cinnamon and sweet potatoes will fill your kitchen, making it feel like a cozy haven. I always find myself reminiscing about my childhood as the scent fills the air.
