Total Time: 1 hrs 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup diced jalapenos
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, vegetable oil, sugar, and eggs. Whisk together until smooth and well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet sweet potato mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough bread texture.
- Carefully fold in the diced jalapenos, distributing them evenly throughout the batter. For less heat, remove the jalapeno seeds before dicing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure an even surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Slice and serve at room temperature. Optional: Garnish with additional fresh jalapeno slices or a sprinkle of sea salt.
Tips
- Prep Your Sweet Potatoes: To save time, you can microwave or steam your sweet potatoes before mashing them. This not only speeds up the cooking process but also ensures they’re creamy and smooth.
- Choose the Right Jalapenos: If you prefer a milder flavor, consider removing the seeds and membranes from the jalapenos before dicing. This will reduce the heat without sacrificing the unique flavor they bring to the bread.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining your wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to a dense texture, so keep it gentle for a light and fluffy loaf.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your bread a few minutes before the recommended baking time. Insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean when the bread is ready.
- Cool Properly: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps maintain its shape and prevents it from becoming soggy.
- Serve with Flair: For an extra touch, consider serving your sweet potato jalapeno bread with a dollop of cream cheese or a sprinkle of sea salt on top for added flavor and visual appeal.
