Sweet Potato Banana Bread

Sweet Potato Banana Bread is a nice change from plain old banana bread. We love banana bread, of course, but we need to switch things up sometimes!

The texture is absolutely perfect and the sweetness from both the sweet potato and banana shine through. I only added a small amount of pure maple syrup to sweeten the bread. There is no need for cups of sugar, or even a half of cup, because the bread is naturally sweet.

I added dark chocolate chips into the mix, but feel free to add nuts or chopped dates as well. Get creative!

  • pure maple syrup
  • pure vanilla extract

How to Make Sweet Potato Banana Bread

Expert Tips

  1. Use room temperature ingredients for optimal results.
  2. Use spotty-brown bananas opposed to yellow or green. The darker in color they are, the sweeter they will be.
  3. Cook your sweet potatoes easily in the air fryer! Follow THIS recipe.
  4. Properly measure flour by spooning the flour into the measuring cup. Then, level off the top of the cup with a knife. Do not place the measuring cup into the bag and scoop. You could end up with more flour than needed.
  5. Don't overmix the batter. Mix until just combined. You can wind up with tough bread that won't rise if you keep mixing.
  6. I recommend an 8x4 loaf pan. The bread rises so well in this size pan. I linked mine HERE.

How to store sweet potato banana bread?

Store Sweet Potato Banana Bread in an airtight container, on the kitchen counter for 2-3 days. You can also store the bread in an airtight container, in the fridge for about 4 days. Lastly, individually wrap slices of the bread and freeze for up to 3 months. This works great for meal prep. Pop a slice in the microwave whenever you want!

    THIS BREAD IS SO GOOD. I didn't have spelt flour, so I did 1 1/2 cups almond flour + 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour and added some pumpkin pie spice. It's delicious at room temperature and warmed up. Definitely making this one again!

    I am not a big fan of coconut oil. Can I just replace with butter or something else? Even apple sauce?

      I never tried the recipe without. I can't guarantee the same results with a sub.
