Sweet Potato Quick Bread

 I had about 3 cups of left over sweet potato casserole, as one does this time of year, languishing away in the fridge. We had already made sweet potato pancakes, and I was trying to figure out what else to do. Then, it hit me: Banana bread, but with the sweet potatoes instead of bananas! Let me tell you.. it was DIVINE!

For the top, instead of the typical sugar sprinkle to get the crackle, I used a sprinkles set from Walmart that we stocked up on. This stuff is pretty tasty, and made a great topper for the bread!

Recipe:

Preheat the oven to 350f.

Wet Ingredients

½ cup Butter (room temp)

1 cup White Sugar

1 cup Brown Sugar

4 Eggs

2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

3 cups Sweet Potatoes (cooked)

3/4 cup Milk

Dry Ingredients

4 cups All-Purpose Flour

1 cup Oats

2 teaspoons Baking Soda

1 tablespoon cinnamon

1 Salt

1 cup Walnuts (chopped)

Pumpkin Pie Spice Sprinkles (optional)

Directions:

Beat the butter and sugars together. Add the eggs, beat well. Add the vanilla, sweet potatoes, and milk, and again, mix well. Set this aside.

In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients, except the walnuts. Add the wet ingredients, mix it all up to form the batter. Fold in the nuts. 

Line 2 bread loaf pans with parchment paper, and divide the dough equally between them. Toss the sprinkles on top, if you are using them, otherwise just dust the loaves with sugar.

Bake for 70-80 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean. Remove from pans, and let cool for about 10 minutes. Slice, slather with butter, and enjoy!
