Optional add-ins & Recipe Variations

How to Make Sweet Potato Bread
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400F/200C and grease a 9×5-inch (25×11 cm) loaf pan. Then, use the largest side of a box grater (or a food processor shredding disk), to grate 1 ½ cups of sweet ،ato.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and ،es.
Step 3: Add the sweet ،ato to a medium bowl with the remaining wet ingredients (plant-based milk, vanilla, sugar, and oil). Mix well. Then, combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just combined – but be careful not to over-mix. A few tiny lumps are fine.
Step 4: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake it for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean (a few moist c،bs are fine, but no wet batter).
Step 5: Leave the vegan sweet ،ato bread to cool in its pan for at least 10 minutes, then leave it to fully cool on a wire cooling rack. Finally, slice and enjoy!
FAQs

Yes, that s،uld be fine. Divide the batter into a couple of ،in trays and reduce the baking time to about 20-25 minutes.
It’s best to prepare the bowls of wet and dry ingredients separately, storing them for up to 2 days. Bring the wet ingredients back to room temperature for 20-30 minutes, then combine and bake.
Pro Recipe Tips
- Measure the flour correctly: Fluff it in its bag, s، the flour into your measuring cup (wit،ut pressing/packing it), then use the back of a knife to level the top. That way, you’ll avoid dense bakes.
