This has been my breakfast every-single-day this week.
Really. I’m just slightly obsessed.
Now, I should point out that I’m not typically one to repeat a meal two days in a row – let alone 4 (!!!) – but this richly spiced sweet potato loaf has really gotten the best of me.
Just look at it! How could you not fall hard for a loaf this lovely?!
I used almond flour, honey, and olive oil in this quick bread to ensure tons of fabulous flavor with no guilt factor whatsoever; the puréed sweet potatoes and spices add depth and personality to every bite. Plus! This recipe is naturally gluten free! Very cool.
I can say with 100% certainty that a thick slice with a little butter or jam and a giant cup of coffee will have you from groggy to giddy in a matter of minutes.
What are you waiting for?
(Gluten Free) Honey and Olive Oil Sweet Potato Bread – Baker by Nature
Yields one large loaf
2 1/4 cups almond flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sweet potato purée (I just peeled mine, cut them into small pieces and boiled them for about 12 minutes before tossing them in the blender)
6 large eggs, at room temperature
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper so that it overlaps on two sides, then grease with olive oil.
Combine almond flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves in a large bowl, set aside. In a separate large bowl whisk together the honey and olive oil. Stir in vanilla and sweet potato purée. Add eggs, one at a time, beat until smooth. Mix the wet mixture into the dry almond mixture and stir just until combined. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 60 – 75 minutes, checking every few minutes after the one hour mark. Let cool in loaf pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling wrack to cool completely.
What I wouldn’t give to have this for breakfast tomorrow! I might just have to get baking.
Do it, girl!
I am picking up some sweet potatoes and making this! I have been cutting out a lot of wheat products and would LOVE a slice of this bread
I’ll take a slice or five of this, please. So. Much. Yum.
This looks fantastic Ashley! I love sweet potatoes and I love quick breads. I’ve never combined the two, but this bread would make a great breakfast (or even lunch) for me!
Oooh, I wouldn’t mind this bread for breakfast! Not at all! Love quick breads!
This sweet potato bread looks killer! My friend Alissa (Big Eats, Tiny Kitchen) is really into gluten-free baking these days and she has proven to me that cookies and quick breads made with almond flour can be totally amazing. Gonna give this a try soon.
This sounds so good Ashley – I’m really excited to give this a try as it’s got so many of my favourite flavours in one!
This is a must make! I don’t think a loaf like this would last long in our house.
I love sweet potatoes in practically EVERYTHING!
This bread looks soooo soft and delicious!! The combination of the sweet potato and the almond meal sounds like absolute perfection!
YUM! I love sweet potato in baked goods. It’s earthy sweetness is perfect with nuts and spices. This looks like perfect winter picnic fodder.
oooh love this!!!! xO!

I love having a stock pile of great GF recipes, because I know so many people who can’t eat gluten and I need to feed ALL THE PEOPLE!
If you enjoy this everyday, I have to make minimum double portion because my son and I are a big sweet potato fan and it doesn’t seem to be enough for us and the rest of family.
Looks good. I’ve never tried sweet potatoes in the loaf like this! I wish I have this with my coffee right now.
I need to have this sweet potato bread right now! This and a huge mug of coffee. Yum!
I love everything about this bread!! I eat sweet potatoes all the time but rarely bake with them. That needs to change!
This bread looks absolutely delicious
Cheers

Sweet potato? Hello delicious! This sounds super delicious. My sister is GF and always ends up with the weirdest, most complicated recipes. I’ll have to make this one for her
LOVE this recipe! I have yet to try baking with almond flour, but this lovely loaf gives me new inspiration to try! For me, there is nothing like a delicious slice of quick bread and a big mug of coffee or tea to start the day off right.
Almond flour is where it’s at, girl! Let me know if you give it a go!
This bread looks soooooo good! I am lunging at my computer screen right now. I want a bite! I NEED a bite! It’s a bonus that it’s gluten-free, too! LOVE…
OMG! I love sweet potato bread!
