SWEET POTATO BANANA BREAD

This quick bread is a twist on plain banana bread that's full of flavor. Nuts add a nice crunch. This recipe uses bananas and mashed sweet potatoes which make the bread extremely moist and tender. The bread is not overly sweet so the glaze on top adds sweetness to the bread. Perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 over-ripe bananas, mashed
1 c sweet potato, mashed (or 15 oz. can sweet potatoes, drained and mashed)
3/4 c light brown sugar, packed
1/4 c canola oil
1 tsp vanilla
2 large eggs
1 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 c chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
GLAZE
2/3 c powdered sugar
2-3 tsp milk
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray loaf pan with non-stick spray.
  • 2. In a bowl, combine bananas, sweet potatoes, brown sugar, oil, vanilla, and eggs.
  • 3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon.
  • 4. Stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture only until just combined.
  • 5. Fold in nuts.
  • 6. Pour into prepared pan.
  • 7. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • 8. Cool for 10-15 minutes and remove from pan.
  • 9. Mix glaze.
  • 10. Pour glaze on cooled bread.
  • 11. VARIATION*** I have used canned organic butternut squash in place of the sweet potatoes. Pumpkin spice liquid coffee creamer can be substituted for milk in the glaze.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread at a moderate temperature: A moderate temperature will help the bread to rise evenly and prevent it from becoming too dry.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato banana bread is a delicious and nutritious quick bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its combination of sweet potatoes, bananas, and spices, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
