Moist delicious way to use up excess sweet potatoes or yams after the holidays. This is so delicious that it disappeared within minutes. Wrap in aluminum foil to keep the moisture in. Ideally, refrigerate the loaves for 2 hours or more before serving; or can be frozen and served later. Just remove from freezer and allow to thaw while still covered at room temperature for about 4 hours before serving.

SWEET POTATO PECAN BREAD



Sweet Potato Pecan Bread image

I prefer to use 1/4 or less teaspoon of nutmeg just for my personal taste since this spice can be a bit strong. Sweet potatoes can be cooked a day or so ahead and stored in refrigerator. I use small potatoes and cook them in a pressure cooker (skins on). I find it faster than baking or peeling & boiling. Plus retains flavor...

Categories     Sweet Breads

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 c sifted all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 to 1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1 c sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 c vegetable oil
2 Tbsp milk
1 c cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
1 c chopped pecans
1/2 c golden raisins

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325. Grease loaf pan.

  • 3. Stir in mashed potatoes, pecans and raisins.
  • 4. Pour batter in prepared pan.
  • 5. Bake 1 hour & 10 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. May need to cover with foil after 30-40 minutes during baking to prevent over browning of the top.
  • 6. Cool in pan for 15 minutes and finish on wire rake.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to finely chop the pecans. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the bread.
  • Be sure to mash the sweet potatoes until they are very smooth. This will help the bread have a fine crumb.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the bread hold its shape.
