Guest Post: Sweet Potato Bread

I wanted to welcome you to a guest post by Angie at God's Growing Garden.  She offered me the great opportunity to post my pumpkin bread recipe on her blog and she is posting her Sweet Potato Bread recipe here.  Make sure you check out her blog after reading her great recipe here at NOVA Frugal Family!!!  Stop by and tell her where you found her!!  I can't wait to make this bread and the holidays seem like the perfect time.  Add in some extra sweet potatoes into the cart and fix this up for breakfast the next morning and the whole family will love it.  I can't wait to try it myself.  YUM!

Sweet Potato Lemon Poppyseed Bread

The flavor combination of Lemon, Sweet Potato & Poppyseed are so delicious that this recipe might become a Thanksgiving tradition!

Printable Recipe

Bread

1/2 cup lemon juice

1 tablespoon lemon zest

1/2 cup sweet potato (previously baked, peeled & mashed)

3 eggs

1/4 cup poppyseeds (I used white poppyseeds but the black ones are just as delicious)

1/2 cup butter (melted) (I used salted butter - if you are using unsalted then you will need to add 1/4 teaspoon salt).

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 cups sugar

In a large bowl with an electric mixer blend the lemon juice & lemon zest, sweet potato, butter & sugar just until combined.  Now with a wooden spoon stir in the flour, baking powder, baking soda & poppyseeds until mixed.  Now pour the batter into a sprayed loaf pan and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 50 (plus) minutes (or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean).  Remove from oven & cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes (before turning it out of the pan).  While it is cooling make the drizzle below.

Lemon Drizzle

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 teaspoons lemon juice

In a small saucepan heat the lemon juice & sugar just until the sugar is dissolved.  Now drizzle on the bread (while the bread is still hot & in the loaf pan).  After adding the drizzle allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes & then take a table knife & go along the edges to loosen the bread.  Flip the pan over and the bread should easily slide out onto the rack.  Slice while warm or totally cooled & ENJOY!!
