One of my favorite side dishes in the fall is Candied Sweet Potatoes. This bread was inspired by that classic autumn favorite. I combined the ingredients used in the dish with a quick bread recipe from my previous post Dates and Zucchini Bread. I was not disappointed with the results. The aroma of caramelized sweet potatoes filled the kitchen when the bread was baking in the oven. I could hardly wait to taste it.

Inspired by a Classic Favorite

This Sweet Potato Pecan Bread had a nice pebbled look with the mashed sweet potatoes and the chopped pecans. It was moist and tender with just the right amount of sweetness. Best served warm in thick slices. I know it is a little early to be thinking of autumn but this delightful bread will probably be at the year-end Thanksgiving table.

    I love sweet potato anything and will eat it anytime of the day or year. I can only imagine the lovely aromas coming out of the oven in your house while baking this wonderful bread. I would probable be like a little kid with my face pressed against the oven glass and watching the bread bake, waiting in anticipation. This sounds delicious Biren. Thank you for sharing.

    Biren, I saw this beautiful bread on Sumptuous Spoonfuls’ FB page, and had to come over here to get a closer look at it! I love sweet potatoes….why have I never made sweet potato bread? 🙂 Add those pecans, and I am in heaven! PINNING! 🙂
    Thank you for a recipe I will look forward to trying!

    I will try this bread, it looks wonderful. BUT, it took four pages to print out a recipe that could well have been done in one. Can the website please make the printing of a recipe easier and more concise?
    Thanks.

      Thanks Tabitha! About the printing, I wonder if it is your printer settings. I just printed the recipe and it came out in two pages because of the picture. It exceed a page by a a few lines. Anyway, this is a moist and delicious quick bread. I think you will really enjoy it. 🙂

    Just saw this recipe today. Looks,wonderful but wonder if it could be made with canned sweet potatoes. If so, what size can would you use?

    Reply
    • Linda says

      June 22, 2017 at 9:47 pm

      Since my recipe calls for an 8 oz sweet potato (including the peel), please use about 7 oz (200g) of the canned sweet potatoes.
