Cup of Yum
Notes
- add 1/2 cup additional brown sugar.
- If using freshly roasted sweet potatoes, add 1/2 cup additional brown sugar.
- I use the leftover filling from this sweet potato casserole for this moist bread.
- You can include the brown sugar/pecan streusel topping into the mixture or you can just use the sweet potato casserole filling only.
