Sweet Potato Banana Bread Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray loaf pan with non-stick spray.
• 2. In a bowl, combine bananas, sweet potatoes, brown sugar, oil, vanilla, and eggs.
• 3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon.
• 4. Stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture only until just combined.
• 5. Fold in nuts.
• 6. Pour into prepared pan.
• 7. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• 8. Cool for 10-15 minutes and remove from pan.
• 9. Mix glaze.
• 10. Pour glaze on cooled bread.
• 11. VARIATION*** I have used canned organic butternut squash in place of the sweet potatoes. Pumpkin spice liquid coffee creamer can be substituted for milk in the glaze.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, put them in a roasting pan and roast for 30 minutes. Toss the bananas into the pan and continue roasting for 10 to 15 minutes, until both the bananas and potatoes are very soft. Remove the pan from the oven but don't turn the oven off.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh into a large mixing bowl. Peel the bananas and add them to the bowl along with 1 stick of the butter, and the honey. Season with salt and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until everything's well combined and the mixture is fluffy. Spoon into an oven-proof serving bowl and smooth the top.
• In a separate mixing bowl, use your fingers to rub together the remaining stick of butter, the brown sugar, flour, and pecans until the mixture is the consistency of coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the sweet potatoes and return to the oven. Cook for about 20 minutes, until the crumbs are golden. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Combine sugar and oil; beat well. Add eggs and beat. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture alternately with water. Stir in sweet potatoes and chopped nuts.
• Pour batter into greased 9x5 inch loaf pan (or 2 small loaf pans). Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about one hour.
