This bread is great for breakfast, a snack or just about anytime! Filled with raisins and nuts, too.
2 eggs
1/2 cup applesauce
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup oil (I used Canola)
1 cup sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed
1 cup nuts (I used walnuts, could use pecans)
1 cup raisins
Cook one large sweet potato in boiling water, then put in cold water to cool, peel and mash. (You can use 1 cup canned sweet potatoes mashed). In a large bowl mix mashed sweet potatoes, oil, eggs, milk, brown sugar, white sugar and applesauce with spoon. Add flour, baking powder, spices, salt and continue mixing. Stir in nuts and walnuts and mix till all ingredients are wet. Pour into a greased or sprayed 9 x 5 x 3 bread pan. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan.
This makes a large loaf of bread. I made a large loaf and a very small loaf for a friend when I made this. Enjoy!

Never thought of sweet potatoes in a quick bread. Sounds wonderful and I can’t wait to make it!
Hi Katherine, Thanks for coming by. Hope you enjoy the bread. Have a good weekend.
Delicious Idea…. Im making this with dinner tonight!
Hi Lisa, Hope you enjoyed the bread. One fan made it with sour cream instead of the applesauce and said it was great that way, too. Have a good weekend.
Sounds like a moist, sweet, delicious, comfort-food type quick bread! I’m not a fan of raisins, so I’ll add Craisins in their place. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Hi Jennifer, Hope you enjoy the recipe and would be interested to know how you liked it with the craisins. I will have to try it your way, too. One fan made it using sour cream instead of the applesauce and loved it. So, there is still another way we can make it. Have a great weekend.
Oh Judy – you are a woman after my heart! This sounds wonderful. I love that it uses applesauce too. I will be trying this soon. MMMM!
Just wanted to let you know that one of my fans made it with sour cream and omitted the applesauce and said it was great that way, too. I will have to try that! Have a good weekend.
Good Morning!!
This recipe is just what I have been looking for with Sweet Potatoes!
I will try it today, but will make smaller loafs!! Thanks once again! Darlene
Darlene, I hope you enjoy this bread! Have a good weekend.
Boy does that look good. Katherine would love all those raisins. I wonder if I could do half with and half without. Anyway, sweet potatoes are just wonderful in baked goods.
Hi Judy – Just wanted you to know I made this bread recipe…using left over squash and pumpkin in the fridge. I made muffins and they were de-lish. We finished the last two off with our morning coffee today.
I’ll try to let you know when I share this recipe at my post…won’t be for
a while, but hopefully in Nov. Thanks again -
This is a wonderful recipe – I use vanilla yoghurt instead of the applesauce and it freezes so well.
