Sweet Potato Spice Bread
Ingredients
  • 1 cup chopped sweet potato
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 over-ripe banana
  • 1 3/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
1
Boil water in a large cooking vessel until it reaches its boiling point. Add diced sweet potatoes and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, or until they are tender; drain the excess water. Transfer sweet potatoes to a bowl and use a masher to break them down into a smooth consistency.
2
Heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease the interior of a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
3
Combine granulated sugar and vegetable oil in a mixing bowl until they are fully incorporated; beat in the ripe banana. In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the sugar mixture in three parts, alternating with 1/3 cup of water until a smooth batter forms. Mix in the cooked sweet potatoes and chopped pecans; stir until everything is well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
4
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake until the top is golden brown, approximately 1 hour.
