This recipe is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I also added a cup of chocolate chips and it was delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly and the bread turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe is easy to follow and the bread turned out perfectly. I used walnuts instead of pecans and it was still delicious.
