Today’s delicious recipe was created by dietician Marika Day for Australian Sweet Potatoes

Sweet Potato and Cinnamon Bread

Whether you’re a young mum, have a demanding office job, or train seven times a week, carbohydrate-rich sweet potatoes can fuel you throughout the day. Defeat that 3pm slump with this delicious recipe.

  • 1 cup sweet potato (pre-cooked, mashed and cooled )
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup pecans (roughly chopped )
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted)
  • 2 cups self-raising flour

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  1. Preheat oven to 180°C and grease and line a loaf tin (I’ve used a 21cm x 11cm loaf tin).
  2. In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients except flour and topping ingredients. Mix until well combined.
  3. Sift flour into mixing bowl and gently fold flour into mixture until just combined.
  4. Pour into loaf tin.
  5. Combine caster sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle on top of loaf.
  6. Place into preheated oven and cook for 55-60 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
  7. Allow to cool before slicing.
