uses up these two leftover holiday foods. It tastes festive and is incredibly moist. This is something I invented based on another recipe, tailoring it to what I had on hand. You can follow suit. I adore nutmeg and allspice together because it just screams Christmas season!
| Prep Time: | 20 mins |
| Cook Time: | 45 mins |
| Total Time: | 1 hr 5 mins |
| Servings: | 12 |
| Yield: | 4 mini loaves |
Ingredients
- 1 cup cranberry sauce, or more to taste
- 1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
- 3 eggs
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup raisins, or more to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 4 mini loaf pans.
- Combine cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, eggs, white sugar, oil, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add flour, nutmeg, allspice, baking soda, and baking powder; mix well. Fold raisins into the batter.
- Divide batter evenly among the loaf pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Place loaf pans on a wire rack to cool completely.
- You can also add nuts or cranberries if desired and use more mashed sweet potatoes (up to 2 cups), depending how much you have left over. Substitute leftover sweet potato casserole for the mashed potatoes if desired.
- Baking time is longer for a large loaf pan and shorter for muffin pans. Just check with a toothpick to make sure it is done.

Reviews
I had a little more than a cup of cranberry sauce so i matched that in sweet potatoes. I also used flax eggs instead of eggs. Mixed those first 3 together and let sit for 5 minutes. I used coconut oil instead of vegetable oil. I also cut back on the sugars and added the flour by 1/2c. increments. I think i used about 2 1/2c. of flour, which was whole wheat. I made this recipes as muffins. I filled my muffin pan and almost forgot the raisins so i added them on top and pushed them in lol! Baked at 375 for 24 minutes, they were fantastic!!
