Category: Breads




Ingredients:
-----------------------------------------------------

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 medium, baked and skinned sweet potatoes)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup soy or rice milk (use plain or vanilla)
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon butterscotch flavoring
1 teaspoon vanilla




Instructions:
-----------------------------------------------------

Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C) degrees. Lightly oil a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl, blending well. In a blender add sweet potatoes, olive oil, soy or rice milk, maple syrup, butterscotch, and vanilla. Purée until smooth. Mix wet and dry ingredients together until well blended. Do not overmix. Mixture will be quite thick like cookie dough. Spread in a loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes or until lightly browned and sides begin to pull away from the sides of the pan. Let cool in the pan about 10 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.




Additional Comments:
-----------------------------------------------------

(Makes one 9 x 5 inch loaf; 10 slices)

Better than banana bread, this sweet bread goes great with afternoon tea or as a sweet addition to a lunch box. Butterscotch flavoring is available in natural foods stores or specialty markets. If you can't find it, use 2 teaspoons of vanilla instead. Add 1/2 cup chopped dried fruit or toasted chopped nuts to batter before baking for variety.
