Easy quick bread recipe loaded with delicious toasty, warm fall flavor.
Quick breads are easy to make with simple ingredients and are quite yummy. I found this Southern Sweet Potato Bread recipe in my Georgia National Fair Blue Ribbon Cookbook. It turned out to be an easy peasy quick bread recipe loaded with amazing fall flavors.
PUMPKIN AND SWEET POTATO
So, what’s your favorite fall flavor? It’s gotta be pumpkin or sweet potato. Well for me it’s not. It’s pumpkin and sweet potato.
Let’s face it, pumpkin is the poster child flavor of fall. It’s a sexy flavor and has a latte named after it at Starbucks (Pumpkin Spice Latte). It used to be my favorite fall flavor. Yes, pumpkin won my fall flavor affections.
But, in recent years sweet potato has been garnishing my fall flavor affections. It hasn’t overtaken pumpkin, but it now owns the #1 fall flavor position along with pumpkin.
I just can’t decide what I like better, so I want. It’s like trying to make me choose between How Great Thou Art or Great Is Thy Faithfulness as my favorite hymn. It just can’t be done.
FALL-bulous OLD FASHIONED SWEET POTATO BREAD
In honor of sweet potato being one of my 2 favorite fall flavors I made this sweet potato bread. What a perfect way to usher in autumn.
I knew when I made this it would be a classic fall recipe with the cinnamon and nutmeg. But friends, it wasn’t just a fall recipe, it screamed fall. It turned out to be an AUTUMNic bomb.
Those classic fall spices, cinnamon and nutmeg, make for such a warm, cozy bread. Then the nuts give it that toasty flavor. I even added some espresso chips (these are optional and you can use chocolate chips as well), which topped the bread off perfectly.
Your family and friends will fall for this when you serve it this autumn. It’d be perfect for a fall brunch or breakfast. It’d also be great to sneak a slice or two for yourself on a chilly evening with a cup of coffee (how romantic).

CROCK POT SWEET POTATO

Wow. I never see it before let try to make sweet potato bread … Oh oh ☺
Hi, this is delicious quick bread. It’s super moist and has delicious fall flavor. You’ll love it. Please leave me a comment if you make it.
Hello Liz I’m I’m so excited to see this & thank you for sharing it. I’m getting ready to make this for my Sunday brunch coming up. Can I substitute expresso chips for raisins or can I leave them in and add raisins?
Hi, thanks for the comment and question. I think this would be great with raisins. Personally, I would not do both, but that’s just me. I think this sweet potato bread with just raisins would be delightful. Please let me know how it turns out.
I had some extra cooked sweet potato left over from Thanksgiving and found this recipe. Brought it into work and it was a big hit!
I used applesauce instead of eggs just because we were out of eggs. I also put in a little less sugar and didn’t miss it at all.
Hey Jenn, thanks for your kind words. Thanks for sharing different ways this bread can be made. I’m sure it’s delicious however it’s made.
