This moist sweet potato loaf is warmly spiced, naturally sweetened with maple syrup, and topped with cream cheese frosting. Vegan and gluten-free friendly!
Ingredients
Sweet Potato Loaf Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond or oat milk if not vegan, regular milk will work
- 1 cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup melted vegan butter if not vegan, regular butter will work
- ¾ cup sweet potato puree
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 ½ cup regular or gluten free all purpose flour If gluten-free, I recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free flour. Please don't substitute any other flour such as almond flour, baking flour, etc.
Cream Cheese Icing
- 2 oz vegan cream cheese if not vegan, regular cream cheese will work
- 2 tablespoon softened vegan butter if not vegan, regular butter will work
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Sweet Potato Loaf
- Preheat the oven to 375
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the oat or almond milk, melted butter, maple syrup, sweet potato puree, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla extract until well combined. Then, mix in the regular or gluten free all purpose flour and mix until batter forms. Be careful not to over mix. Pour the batter into a 9x5 loaf pan and bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes. I find that a metal loaf pan produces the most evenly baked loaf.
- While the loaf is baking, use an electric hand mixer to mix the vegan cream cheese, softened butter, and powdered sugar to make the optional cream cheese icing. Spread the icing over the loaf once it's cooled but is still slightly warm and enjoy!
