Ingredients

Light Brown Sugar: I use my homemade light brown sugar, but store bought also works.
Sweet Potato Puree: I use Farmer's Market Sweet Potato Puree.
All Purpose Flour: My favorite is Cairnspring Mills.
Kamut Flour: I also use organic Kamut flour for a little more flavor. If you don't have Kamut flour, you can use rye flour as well or you can also use all purpose flour to replace this.
Baking Powder: Use baking powder for the most tender crumb in this quick bread.
Pumpkin Seeds: I use organic pumpkin seeds on top for some added texture, but this is optional.
Turbinado Sugar: I top this organic bread with a little turbinado sugar, which is what gives it this amazing texture and subtle sweet crust on top.

Baker's Tips

Always weigh ingredients for the best results.
I use my stand mixer here, but a hand mixer also works too.
Make sure butter and milk are room temperature for the best results.
If you don't have cinnamon or want to use something else, any spice you like would work. Nutmeg, cloves, ginger, pumpkin spice, or allspice are also cozy spices that would work.
Let the loaf cool completely before cutting (at least 2+ hours), this will ensure clean cuts and the best texture.
Store in an airtight container or under a cake dome to keep fresh. You can also wrap individual slices of bread in plastic wrap if needed, though I don't love this as it's not as eco friendly as a storage container.
Vegan: Make this dairy free or vegan sweet potato bread by replacing the butter with your favorite vegan butter. I recommend Miyoko's for the best flavor.

How to Make Cinnamon Sweet Potato Bread Without Eggs

butter and light brown sugar in a glass mixing bowl on a white marble counter.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 1-pound loaf pan with parchment paper, letting it fold over the edges for easier removal, or use a loaf pan that releases really well like the Caraway I'm using. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract.

Mix on low until combined and there are no chunks of butter.

Recipe FAQ's

Do I need a mixer to make this bread?

I use my stand mixer simply because I’m lazy and I like hands free baking! But, you can also use a large bowl with hand mixer for this recipe. And you could even use just a bowl with a wooden spoon if you aren’t afraid of a little more elbow grease to stir the mixture!

Is this a yeast bread or quick bread?

This is a quick bread as there is no yeast, we're just using baking powder for leavening.

What does sweet potato do in bread?

Sweet potato adds moisture and also replaces eggs in this quick bread.

Can I use fresh sweet potatoes instead of puree?

You can, but you'll need to cook the potato and mash it up to “puree it” yourself.

Does sweet potato bread taste like sweet potatoes?

No, it just gives this bread a sweet flavor and very moist texture.

Do I need to use Kamut flour?

If you don’t have Kamut flour, you can use all purpose flour in its place. But, I like adding this small amount of Kamut flour for added sweetness.

Can I add something else for toppings?

You can add chopped pecans, walnuts, or even sunflower seeds if you prefer.

Why is my bread gummy in the middle?

This is most likely from under baking or not letting the loaf cool completely before slicing.

Why is my bread dense or heavy?

If your baking powder is bad then it can hinder rising. Be sure that your baking powder is good.

Why do I need to cool before slicing?

Letting the bread cool completely will give you the best texture. Cutting before cooling can result in a gummy texture in the center. Letting the bread cool will ensure that it finishes cooking and the starches have had time to set. As it cools, the steam escapes, and it allows the remaining moisture to distribute evenly through the loaf instead of being trapped in the center.

How should I store this Cinnamon Sweet Potato Bread without Eggs?

This Cinnamon Sweet Potato Bread is moist and fluffy, so it needs to be stored in an airtight container. This can be a Tupperware or even a cake dome. You can store at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Can I freeze sweet potato bread?

Absolutely, you can freeze slices in an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
