Chocolate Sweet Potato Bread

If I ever need to bring food to a potluck and I am short on time I often bring this. The batter comes together in about 15 minutes and is comprised of ingredients that you will likely already have in your house. I love having some around for whenever I get a craving for baked goods but don't want to indulge in too much sugar. 
Ingredients
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond butter
  • ⅓ c cocoa powder
  • ⅓ c maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup grated sweet potato
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 2 Tbsp cacao nibs
  • 1 Tbsp coconut sugar

Procedure
  1. Preheat oven to 400℉
  2. Melt coconut oil and use to grease a glass bread pan. Set aside.
  3. Using a hand mixer or a food processor blend almond butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla, and sea salt.
  4. Fold in sweet potato. Fold in apple cider vinegar and baking soda. Stir until everything is  incorporated.
  5. Pour into prepared loaf pan and place in oven. Sprinkle coconut sugar and cacao nibs on top. Press down lightly.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until fragrant. Insert a knife to test doneness. The middle may be a little wet initially but will firm up as the bread cools.

Yield: 1 loaf
Allergens: nuts, eggs

Notes:
  • Consider using other vegetables like beets, different varieties of sweet potatoes, and zucchini.
  • Experiment with other nut and seed butters like sunflower, peanut, and cashew.
