Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sweet potato, mashed
- 1 cup Fresh cranberries, chopped
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Eggs, large
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., pecans or walnuts)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the mashed sweet potato, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped cranberries and nuts, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve and enjoy your homemade Cranberry Sweet Potato Quick Bread!
