Cooking From Scratch
I didn't add frosting because I'm trying to cut back on sugar. This quick bread taste moist enough without icing.
My Grandson, who is almost 13 years old, asked me to make sweet potato quick bread today. I said yes but he would have to learn how to bake the bread so next time he wants some he can make it himself.
10 x 14 inch glass dish, I doubled the recipe, you'll need a smaller baking dish or 2 bread pans
Ingredients
- 2 - 1/2 cups organic unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 cup of white sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 - 2/3 cups cooked mashed sweet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Mix all dry Ingredients together
In a blender mix all wet ingredients together including oil, sugar, and nuts. My family hates nuts but I love them so I sneak them in and finely ground walnuts add a nice nutty flavor to the mix. You can add the nuts after you add everything together if you want the nutty crunch.
Mash or blend your sweet potatoes
My Grandson, I call him my prep-boy and I peeled and cut up potatoes, dumped the lot in a pan of boiling water and cooked till tender. Drain and save the water, it makes a great soup stock. Set the hot potatoes aside to cool.
Blend All Wet Ingedients Together
This includes, eggs, vanilla, oil, and sweet potatoes. Add dry ingredients together, flours, spices, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
I buy a lot of my bulk ingredients on eBay.
Mix Dry Ingredients With Wet
My Grandson mixed 1 cup of flour mix to wet mixture at a time, scraping the bottom and the sides of the pan often. Grease your baking dish and dust with flour, set aside. Once dry and wet ingredients are throughly incorporated scoup mixture into baking dish.
Preheat oven 350 degrees, bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
A link to My Blog
Children and grandchildren need to learn how to cook and bake. My 10 year old loves to bake. She can make pancakes, brownies, and banana bread from scratch.
@reddust, keep passing along these important life skills!
We're making a notebook for our recipes as well. Hopefullly I can teach them enough so they can cook for themselves. I want to teach both Grandson and Granddaughter how to sew!
Thanks really cool. These are lost arts that should still be apart of daily life.
Great recipe sounds delicious thank you 🕊
You are welcome @cecirod🦋
Yummm looks amazing! Can't wait to give it a try:-)
I hope you enjoy, we had a blast making the bread🌼

Cream cheese frosting makes this Quick bread perfect😉
I will keep that in mind. I can totally see that

Oh my goodness this looks delicious! Now I'm starved and nothing in my fridge is nearly as appealing. Note to self: stop looking at food porn right before bed.
I mail you a care package @merej99🚀
This recipe looks good! I might try this one!
I feed the grandkids the bread for breakfast. If I had access to rawmilk cream, I'd pour some cream ontop...enough health fats, protein, fibers, and carbs to keep a body going until mid-day.
Looks delicious! Thank you for sharing the recipe and the know-how. Kudos to your grandson! :)
