    Click this button to skip straight to the recipeYou know what I miss having at Thanksgiving? Buttered bread. Sure, all these years I could have just brought some gluten free bread and dairy free butter with me but since I have to pack my entire dinner, I never bothered adding in bread on top of everything else. That might have to change this year because I'm really considering making this sweet potato bread for Thanksgiving.

    This sweet potato bread is actually the result of an oddly specific craving. I wanted something with fall flavors but not sweet because I wanted to load up on the butter! I also wanted something moist and dense like banana bread but without the soggy wetness. Granted, it's a good soggy wetness but it's not what I wanted. What I definitely did not want was a cake baked in a loaf pan being passed off as bread. We've all had that "bread" before and although I clearly have no issues with cake, I do have an issue with frostingless cake. Let's not even go there.

    Somehow, I was able to bake just what I had in mind. Maybe not on the first try but I managed eventually! The pumpkin pie spice and sweet potato give the bread a fall flavor but the sugar content is low enough that it doesn't taste like a sweet dessert. I'd definitely serve this as an appetizer or side with butter.

    That being said, if you wanted to have this as a dessert, it would also be great topped with whipped cream, dusted with powdered sugar, or drizzled with a basic powdered sugar glaze. You could even fold some raisins or chocolate chips into the batter.

    However, if you really want this as a dessert, I'd recommend making it as-is and holding off until my next recipe. It's going to be a Thanksgiving leftovers recipe using this bread to make a quick and easy dessert. I'm sure you can probably guess what is is but I'll keep it a secret for now.

    Description

    This gluten free, dairy free sweet potato bread is just a little sweet and packed with fall flavors. Serve with butter for a Thanksgiving side or appetizer.


    Ingredients

    • 1 ½ C cooked, skinless sweet potato
    • ¼ C dairy free butter, softened
    • ½ C sugar
    • 2 eggs
    • 2 tsp vanilla extract
    • 2 C gluten free flour ("cup for cup"/1:1 type and containing xanthan gum)
    • 1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
    • 2 tsp baking powder
    • ¼ tsp salt

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease a loaf pan and set aside. (Dust it with gluten free flour if desired.)
    2. Use a food processor to puree the sweet potato until smooth.
    3. In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the dairy free butter and sugar.
    4. Once the butter and sugar are creamed together, add the eggs, vanilla extract, and sweet potato puree.
    5. In a separate bowl, sift together the gluten free flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Gently stir then add this to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
    6. After mixing, the batter should be pretty thick. Pour this into the prepared loaf pan and use a rubber spatula to evenly spread the batter and smooth out the top. Tap the pan on the counter a few times before putting it in the oven.
    7. Bake for 40-55 minutes. The toothpick test may not accurately check for doneness on a moist bread like this. The toothpick may not come out completely clean but it should not have wet batter stuck to it, just bread crumbs. The outside of the bread will be lightly browned.
    8. Allow the bread to cool in the loaf pan until it is no longer hot to the touch, then remove it from the pan and allow it to continue cooling on a cooling rack. Cut into thick slices. I recommend serving it while it's still warm with plenty of dairy free butter.

    Notes

    • Potential allergens in this recipe may vary due to brands of ingredients used, product reformulations, etc. Please verify that all your ingredients are safe for you to consume and always be mindful of allergen cross contamination while cooking.
    • For dairy free butter, I usually recommend Earth Balance soy free baking sticks. Note that they also carry a similar product containing soy. You can also use coconut oil as a substitute.
    • For gluten free flour, I always use and recommend Bob’s Red Mill. Regardless of what gluten free flour you use, be sure it contains xanthan gum and that the package indicated it's "cup for cup" or 1:1. Note that the Bob's Red Mill brand is made in a facility with tree nuts and soy according to the package I had.
    • This bread will rise while baking but expect it to deflate some as it cools since it is a higher moisture bread.

      I want to try this recipe for my two year old! Is there a healthier substitute that could be used in place of the sugar?

        Hi Emily. I haven't tried that yet. I think if you stick with a granulated sugar, it should turn out right. So maybe one with the mineral content still intact like maple sugar or even coconut sugar would be healthier than the refined sugar the recipe calls for. It won't be as sweet if you use coconut sugar but it's not a very sweet bread to begin with - I definitely wouldn't compare it to sweet cake-like breads like pumpkin or lemon poppyseed so I don't think the less sweet coconut sugar will make a huge difference in taste.

        By the way, my son was about two when I first made this and he loved it gently warmed with some butter. Now he's three and doesn't eat anything lol

    I started out with a passion for creating unique recipes and decorating cakes. In June of 2012, I discovered I was not only severely gluten intolerant but also, many of the foods I was eating I simply couldn't include in my diet anymore. Fortunately, my love for trying new recipes, ingredients, and cooking methods made re-learning how to cook seem more like a fun challenge than an unfortunate circumstance. I'm so happy to say that my dietary restrictions haven't stopped me from doing what I love. I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do.

    I was going to write some jokes about logging but I was going to write some jokes about logging but you wooden get them. Because they’re super dumb. Ok, I’ll share anyway.
.
How do lumberjacks find a missing exponent?
By using LOGarithms
.
What did the lumberjack wear to work on casual Friday?
His favorite Tree-shirt
.
When is the most stressful time of year for a tree?
Sept-timber
.
I told you they were bad, right? 😅 Cut me some slack, they were for a kids birthday party. Oh, and I have more…
.
Why did the logger get a gym membership?
He wanted to get lumber jacked 💪
.
Why couldn’t the tree answer the riddle?
He was stumped
.
What kind of beer do lumberjacks drink?
Loggers 🍻
.
Why did the logger have back pain?
He didn’t have enough lumber support
.
Embarrassingly enough, I have a bunch more but I’ll save them for a project in a later blog post. For now, I just have the cake.
.
This is a 2 part, absolutely massive blog post on making this logging scene cake from start to finish. The cake is chocolate and vanilla layers with cookies & cream filling. And as always, gluten free and dairy free.

    Big news: I cleaned my house the other day 😅 Bu Big news: I cleaned my house the other day 😅 But seriously, it’s amazing how much having a clean space can help. My energy levels are completely uncalled for considering we’re well beyond a month of Erika barely sleeping at night and at least one family member dealing with a cold. I’m so tired of snot 😩 And being responsible for 3 peoples noses. We’re trying to graduate one nose to self-care but apparently the art of nose blowing takes a lot more boxes of tissues to master. We’ll get there.
.
Ok enough gross stuff. My finally clean again space has made me so much more focused and motivated to get things done. I’ve burned through most of my work to-do list and made it to the fun stuff that I don’t have to do but just want to. And since I was at that point, I decided to do something for myself by working on my blog. And I went a little overboard by working on 5 blog posts at once. I probably won’t get through them all but I have 3 ready so far.
.
This first post is a 30 minute ground beef stroganoff that I made almost 3 years ago. I didn’t do a great job writing down the recipe so I wasn’t able to post it until I figured out what I forgot to write down. Figured it out the other day and it was so good!

    I almost didn’t make this into a casserole becau I almost didn’t make this into a casserole because the sauce and pasta combined made a delicious side dish on their own! @beldolcefood #sponsored my most recent blog post and provided me with their new gluten free fusilli and penne to try out. I used the fusilli in this recipe and the sauce is a creamy, cheesy enchilada sauce made from just 3 ingredients.
.
I ended up adding taco meat, fire roasted tomatoes, corn, black beans, and dairy free cheese to make a taco noodle casserole. Then we ate it all and I made it again! This is one of those recipes that will be going in our regular meal rotation.
.
This is a pretty versatile recipe. It can be made vegan just by leaving out the meat and it’s just as good. And as I said earlier, the pasta with just the sauce makes a really good side dish. You can also top it with whatever you like such as cilantro, jalapeños, sour cream, scallions, or salsa.

    I’ll just say it - I’m one of those bloggers t I’ll just say it - I’m one of those bloggers that makes cakes for their blogs “birthdays”. Or uses the blog birthdays as an excuse to make yet another cake recipe....yeah, that’s probably more accurate.
.
Definitely felt like I needed a good excuse for this one because it’s my fifth variation of gooey butter cake! However, my site is seven years old so maybe I should have had seven gooey butter cakes ready to go? Guess I’d better get caught up before year eight 😉
.
Anyways, I really enjoyed this carrot cake variation of gooey butter cake. The cake layer/crust swaps out the yellow cake mix with spice cake mix and I added in some shredded carrots and raisins. I kept the “gooey” top layer the same except that I topped it with a sprinkle of cinnamon and additional raisins before baking.
