Instructions
Let’s dive into the process of creating this delicious Sweet Potato Cinnamon Bread. Trust me, it’s as easy as pie!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In another bowl, mix the mashed sweet potatoes with the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- 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. If the top is browning too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
