Ingredients
- • sweet potato: 1 large, peeled and boiled
- • whole wheat flour: 2 cups
- • almond flour: 1/2 cup
- • baking powder: 2 teaspoons
- • cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- • nutmeg: 1/2 teaspoon
- • sea salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • almond milk: 1 cup, unsweetened
- • egg: 1 large
- • honey: 1/4 cup
- • almond butter: 1/2 cup, creamy
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon

Instructions
- 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 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 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 Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
- 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 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.
