How to Make Cinnamon Sweet Potato Quick Bread? (*full recipe card on the bottom)

  1. First, boil one sweet potato, until it is very soft, about 20 minutes or more. Measure only one cup. Do not add in extra, or it will ruin the recipe.

  • Remove from the water, and allow cooling before peeling and mashing. The potato should be very soft, and mushy.

Storing and Freezing:

  • Store this bread at room temperature, covered with clear wrap. It will stay fresh for several days.
  • If planning to freeze this bread, I would recommend not drizzling the icing on top. It will not hold when frozen and will fall apart and even completely fall off when thawed.

Thanks for PINNING!
