Ingredients for Spiced Sweet Potato & Almond Butter Swirl Bread

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with a small amount of oil or line it with parchment paper.
  2. 2 In a medium bowl, mash the cooked sweet potato until smooth. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt.
  3. 3 In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the mashed sweet potato to this mixture and stir until smooth.
  4. 4 Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  5. 5 Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Dollop half of the almond butter over the batter and use a knife to swirl it through. Repeat with the remaining batter and almond butter to create a marbled effect.
  6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
