Looking for a good quick bread recipe for fall? Make this Gluten-free healthy Sweet Potato Oatmeal Bread with Pecan Streusel!
You know those dishes/foods that you eat so much of, but you don’t get sick of? That’s my relationship with sweet potatoe (and that is why I’m coming to you today with this sweet potato oatmeal bread).
In fact, I eat them so much that my skin is slightly tinted orange from the beta carotene overload! Don’t worry though, people actually tell me I look tan! I’d say that’s an added plus for eating sweet potatoes.
At Thanksgiving, I’ve alway been the person who skips the turkey, stuffing and other classic dishes to dig right into the sweet potato casserole. And then I manage to eat half of it while everyone is stuffing their face with turkey.
I’m also that person who buys 10 pounds of sweet potatoes at one time because the little 2 pound bag ain’t got nothing on my sweet potato obsession.
Now I’m a huge fan of any quick bread, so naturally I had to make a sweet potato version. Pumpkin bread and banana bread are good, but when compared to sweet potato pecan streusel bread, well lets just say there is no comparison. Its moist, doughy, dense, naturally sweet, full of fiber, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan-friendly and everything you want in a quick bread.

Hey Bethany and hello Rachel… (“one knows how much fun it must to be to this together and secretly wishes one had the same”)
I found your post in Savoring Saturdays. Sounds absolutely delicious. I am always looking for quick breads (yeasted bread is too much of a time suck in my opinion). When I am in the mood for the next one, this one is the first one in my list.
I love the way you guys, modified it to make it plantbased too. I am sure it would be a massive help to so many out there who don’t want eggs.
Thanks so much! 🙂
Thank you 🙂
Sweet potato cake sounds amazing! thank you so much!
How do you prepare/cook the sweet potatoes for the bread?
you can microwave or bake them! 🙂
Sounds delicious! I don’t have all the ingredients to try it now but hopefully, will find the coconut oil and a few of the other ones I don’t have to make it soon.
Thanks!

I think it needs more sugar, is a bit bland, and the taste of the sweet potato is nearly missing. Mine took 40 minutes in a brownie pan, so I would think that in a loaf pan it will take a bit longer.
