23 Jan Sweet Potato Bread With Chocolate Chips
This isn’t one of my healthiest recipes, but it is one of my favorites. Usually, we kick off the year with plans and promises to eat healthier and exercise more. And, those are all worthy pursuits. This year, though, it feels like we need something different.
So, in honor of a new year, we are kicking off the year with a sweet recipe. In the Jewish New Year, we eat apples and honey to signify our hopes for a sweet new year. For 2021, I am doing the same thing. I hope all of you have a sweet(er) year and that this recipe becomes one of your go-to family treats.
Thanks to Chocolate Covered Katie for the inspiration.
This recipe is made with all-purpose flour and real sugar, making it not-diabetic friendly.
To make it more diabetic friendly, you can use stevia or monk fruit instead of real sugar. You can also make it with whole wheat or spelt four. This will increase the fiber in the recipe and hopefully lower the impact a little bit on your blood sugars.

- Preheat oven to 350ºF and grease a 5x9 bread loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the oat milk, flax egg, oil, mashed banana, sweet potato puree, vanilla, and cider vinegar.

- Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients to the mixture, stirring to combine. Fold in the chocolate chips.
