After I put the loaf in the oven, I realized that I had forgotten to add the salt. I couldn't figure out why the sweetness wasn't "popping" when I tasted the batter!
Serves 12
Ingredients
1 medium/large sweet potato, microwaved and cooled
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp ground ginger
1.5 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/3 cup fancy molasses
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut oil
2/3 cup hot water
2 eggs
Canola oil spray, for greasing pan
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a loaf pan with canola spray.
Poke holes in the sweet potato, then microwave on high for 10 minutes. Place potato on a cooling rack, and slice open to allow to cool inside. Cool for at least 25 to 30 minutes.
Combine flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and spices in a large bowl and mix until uniform.
In a second bowl, combine molasses, maple syrup, coconut oil and hot water. Whisk together. Mash the sweet potato and add to the bowl. Add eggs and whisk again.
Pour wet ingredients into dry. Mix to combine, then transfer to loaf pan.
Bake for approximately 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
