Sweet Potato Bread (vegan + gluten free + sugar free)
Do you remember when canned pumpkin was nowhere to be found during quarantine (early fall)? Well canned sweet potato was an available alternative so I picked up a few cans of that. I went through most of the cans in the fall but I had one can left, so obvious I wanted to make something with it (6 months later).
Here's a recipe that is vegan and gluten free, or has the option to have eggs and be filled with gluten! That's the beauty of a simple recipe like this. It can be customized. Once you bake the whole batch, you'll have slices of sweet potato bread ready to go for any snack attack during the week.
I love mine heated up, with a layer of greek yogurt, then some nut butter and banana on top. I eat it with a spoon and enjoy every single bite. Just like the picture below!
