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 pur̩e. 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 Р75 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.
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…
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!

I love everything about this bread!! I eat sweet potatoes all the time but rarely bake with them. That needs to change! 🙂
I need to have this sweet potato bread right now! This and a huge mug of coffee. Yum!
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 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!
oooh love this!!!! xO!
