Ingredients
  • 1 medium sweet potato
  • 1½ cups white whole wheat flour (see post above for options)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 very ripe bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsweetened dairy-free milk beverage
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup dairy-free buttery spread, melted and cooled
  • ¾ cup + ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (omit for nut-free or sub dairy-free chocolate chips)
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Optionally line it with a piece of parchment paper overhanging on the long sides (for easily lifting the loaf out).
  2. Poke the sweet potato on all sides with a fork. Place it on a microwave-safe plate or bowl and microwave oven on high for 7 to 10 minutes, or until very tender.
  3. Let the potato cool for 20 minutes and then peel it and place it in a large bowl.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ¾ cup walnuts, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Add the banana to your cooked sweet potato, and mash them together. Add the eggs, milk alternative, maple syrup, and buttery alternative, and mix with a hand mixer until combined.
  6. Fold in the flour-nut mixture just until combined. Do not overmix the batter.
  7. Scrape the batter into your prepared pan and even it out. Evenly sprinkle the top with the remaining ¼ cup walnuts.
  8. Bake the bread for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs and the top is golden brown.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then loosen the bread and remove it from the pan.
  10. Let the bread cool completely on the wire rack before slicing.
