Ingredients
- 1 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon of ginger powder (optional)
- 1 ½ cups of grated raw sweet potato
- 1 cup of plant-based milk
- 1 ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
- ½ cup of brown sugar
- ⅓ cup of neutral oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F, and line it with parchment paper to make it easier to lift it out of the pan.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (and nutmeg and ginger powder if using) in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Using the largest side of the grater, grate 1 ½ cups of sweet potato. Add the sweet potato to a medium bowl with the plant-based milk, vanilla extract, sugar, and oil. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix well, but do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into a baking pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a fork inserted into the center comes out clean and top is golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes and then lift it out of the pan and place it on a cooling rack. Allow it to cool completely before slicing.

Notes
- Measure the flour correctly: Fluff it in its bag, spoon the flour into your measuring cup (without pressing/packing it), then use the back of a knife to level the top. That way, you’ll avoid dense bakes.
- Don’t overmix the batter: Otherwise, you risk overworking the gluten, and affecting the texture and rise. A few lumps in the batter are fine.
- Leave it to cool: This easy sweet potato bread will be fragile right out of the oven. Leave it to cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan, then remove it from the pan to cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
