Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups (350g) mashed sweet potato (roasted and cooled)
  • ½ cup (115g) melted coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) pure maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs (100g)
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
  • ½ tsp (3g) baking powder
  • 1 tbsp (8g) ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp (1g) ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp (3g) sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides, and grease the pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potato, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla until a smooth emulsion is formed.
  3. Sift the whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt directly into the wet mixture. Gently fold with a spatula until no white streaks remain, taking care not to overmix.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the loaf springs back when touched.
