Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sweet potato (mashed)
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 medium Onion (finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the diced onion until golden brown and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potato, eggs, milk, and olive oil until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold the caramelized onions into the batter until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
