Equipment

  • Blender or food processor
  • Medium sized loaf pan
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked sweet potato (skins removed)
  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup smooth almond butter
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add the cooked sweet potato, almond butter, maple syrup, almond milk, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, orange zest, and salt to a blender or food processor, then blend until smooth.
  • Add the coconut flour, ground flaxseed, and baking soda to a large mixing bowl, then mix well.
  • Transfer the blended sweet potato mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients, then stir to combine.
  • Spoon the batter into a medium sized loaf pan (my pan is 9.25 x 5.25 x 2.75 inches) lined with parchment paper.
  • Wet a spoon with cold water, then use the back of the spoon to smooth the batter into an even layer.
  • Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the bread comes out looking clean.
  • Let the bread cool off for at least two hours before removing from the pan and serving.

Notes

  • Optional additions include 1/2 cup of chopped pecans, walnuts, or raisins. Stir them into the batter when you’re combining the wet and dry ingredients.
  • Store this paleo sweet potato bread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days or freeze it for up to six months.
