Absolutely make it again, was loved by all in my household.

Thank you for this! Recently diagnosed with major allergies, I have lost the will to cook & bake. What I did differently from recipe when doubled-1c ea white and brown sugar, 1c applesauce, 1/3c oil, 3 c oat flour, 3/4tsp nutmeg, 1/4tsp ginger. Made into muffins baked at 400 for 14 mins (convection). Everything else was the same. These were moist and flavorful.
William Reynolds
Great recipe I added half a cup of raisins and a glaze at the end ! Taste great
Aaron Gould
Didn’t change a thing but perhaps a bit more potato because I didn’t want to waste it. Turned out terrific. Thanks.
James Wright
Made this for my husband and he says it reminds him of the ones his Grandmother made for him as a little boy. Great outcome and will try again . Sorry no picture it was gone before I could take one.

We’ve been making sweet potato MUFFINS with the recipe for years, and the whole family devours them in no time! We always swap the 1/2 cups of pecans for a full cup of chocolate chips though! The muffins are usually done after about 15-20 minutes in the oven. YUMMY!
Claudia Bartlett
My family and I love this recipe! The only thing I done different is I don’t use the pecans or any other nut. Choking hazard for the littles. Thought about maybe using finely diced apples or something like that. Very good!

Used aquafaba instead of eggs to make it vegan. I shall use this recipe again. Thank you All Recipes.

I was given 60 lbs of sweet potatoes….I have made this recipe once a week for 5 weeks! My husband is a truck driver, and he and his friends absolutely love it!!! I don’t change anything about the recipe, accept the time in the oven. For me it cooks in about 25-30 minutes. Thank you for a great recipe!!

Stephanie Andersen

Veronica May
I followed the recipe except replaced water with apple juice and pecans with walnuts. I also doubled the recipe. Turned out be a family hit! I will definitely be making this again.

I made this recipe exactly as it is written and it was amazing! Don’t change a thing! Try it as it is written and you won’t be disappointed. Remember a tip… make sure your eggs are room temp as well as your sweet potatoes so it will rise good.
Tina Sullivan
This is a easy and very tasty bread! I always have double the recipe. My family and co-worker ask for it all the time! I add cranberries to it in place of pecan for those with nut allergies.
Lee Casey
This was absolutely amazing! Is great alone but I topped with egg, sprinkled egg with parsley and then drizzled with maple syrup. I could eat this for breakfast daily. My daughter is autistic and hates vegetables and she devoured this. A family favorite for sure.
Michele Ford
Great recipe! I made this for my toddler who suddenly did not like roasted sweet potatoes so I made a couple adjustments. I used only a half cup of maple syrup instead of sugar and also used whole wheat flour. The bread came out great! I’m an avid baker, so I’m sure it would be good with regular flour and sugar as well
Audrey Allen
This was absolutely delicious. A nice moist bread with a great texture. Perfect ! I might try a teaspoon of maple extract next time…just sounds good with this recipe. I will definitely be making this again
Monica Jones
Loved it!!!
Michael Henderson
