Sweet Potato Pie Bread

I love easy quick bread recipes! I make zucchini bread every summer, pumpkin bread every fall, and banana bread year-round.

This Sweet Potato Pie Bread is a great Thanksgiving-time quick bread, and even though Thanksgiving is over, I’m not finished enjoying sweet potatoes, cranberries, or any of the other Thanksgiving foods.

This Sweet Potato Pie Bread is a perfect-post Thanksgiving quick bread because you can use leftover mashed sweet potatoes to make the bread.

Ingredients

Sweet Potato Pie Bread

• ▢ 1½ c . all-purpose flour
• ▢ 1 tsp . baking powder
• ▢ 1 tsp . ground cinnamon
• ▢ ½ tsp . ground nutmeg
• ▢ ¼ tsp . baking soda
• ▢ 1/4 tsp . salt
• ▢ 1/2 c . butter
• ▢ 3/4 c . granulated sugar
• ▢ 1/4 c . light-brown sugar
• ▢ 1 tsp . vanilla extract
• ▢ 1 c . plain leftover mashed sweet potatoes
• ▢ 2 large eggs

Browned Butter Glaze

• ▢ 1/4 c. butter
• ▢ 1 c. powdered sugar
• ▢ 2-3 tablespoons milk
• ▢ Pecans

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.
• In a large bowl beat butter, sugars, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
• Blend in sweet potatoes; then eggs, one at time. With mixer on low, add flour mixture in thirds; blend just enough to combine.
• Spoon batter into a prepared loaf pan.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 60-75 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool, about 15 minutes.
• Remove cake from pan to cool completely.
• To make the glaze, add butter to a heavy saucepan.
• Cook butter over medium heat until it starts to foam, stirring frequently. Stop stirring, and let it continue to cook until amber brown.
• Remove from heat, and stir in powdered sugar and enough milk to make glaze desired consistency. If your powdered sugar is lumpy, sifting it will help make the glaze smoother.
• Drizzle over cooled bread. Top with chopped pecans, if desired.
