Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cups mashed sweet potato or pumpkin puree
- 0.75 cups honey
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups buttermilk or plain yogurt
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.5 cups raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato or pumpkin puree, honey, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk. Mix well until smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
If using, fold in the chopped nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips to the batter for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf 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.
Slice and serve. Enjoy your Honey Sweet Potato or Pumpkin Bread with a drizzle of honey, butter, or on its own!
