Easy Cinnamon Sweet Potato Quick Bread – Sincerely Tori
So I realize this post is coming at you way out of season. I’d blame it on all that time I spent living in the Southern Hem where the seasons are all switched up, but the truth is we recently got this ginormous bag of sweet potatoes and only about half of the people in my house like them. Even then, some of my family members that do like them still seem to think of them as an item reserved for eating at holidays only so that leaves only a few people to eat them. I have no problem having them all to myself basically, and this totally wouldn’t be a problem in the Winter time, but since the temperature’s finally getting warmer, it makes them spoil quite a bit faster and I could tell they didn’t have much longer before they would go bad. Hence the reason for this very Autumn-ish recipe coming at you at the opposite time of year. So can we just take a second to address the whole quick bread situation. You see, I was telling a friend the other day that I realized I haven’t made bread in a while (I was referring to one with yeast). That’s when he reminded me about this sweet potato bread that I’d shared with him and I had to clarify the difference between a quick bread and a yeast bread. Really though, why don’t we just call this type of recipe a “muffin loaf” or an “unfrosted crumb cake”? I mean, that’s what it is, isn’t it? I guess it’s a psychological thing and maybe we all subconsciously think if we call it a “bread” it’s somehow healthier than a crumb cake. Hey, honestly I don’t care what name is used for these types of bread when they turn out perfectly delicious. Which, if I do say so myself, I think this one did! Like I already pointed out, it’s a bit of a cozier recipe and something I’d typically save for October or November, but I don’t see any reason this shouldn’t be shared as soon as possible, because it’s a great recipe to use up extra sweet potatoes all year long. I used graham crackers from this recipe made into crumbs for the topping because I just love the flavor it adds. Other than that I think this is a pretty basic quick bread and not much different from most pumpkin bread recipes Pumpkins aren't the only orange veggies great for baking. This simple and delicious quick bread is made with sweet potatoes!
