I've been skimming through sweet potato dessert recipes and I've noticed something in the reviews. Some say a recipe is entirely too sweet, others say just fine, and yet others say its not sweet enough. At first I thought well that's opinions for you. But after making the batter for this bread and cutting the sugar in half, its still very sweet. I can't imagine how sweet it would've been if I used all the sugar! That being said, I think it takes experience when working with vegetables that can have a varying degree of sweetness (or any variance for that matter). I used the same potatoes for potato wedges and found them entirely too sweet. So beware! Take into your specific potato. Other than that, its a good recipe. Also, if you want whole grain goodness but not the harsh taste and texture, use whole grain pastry flour or whole grain white flour. They are more delicate versions of the normal wheat grain.

Used butter instead of oil and apple juice instead of water. It was pretty good. I'll be adding this to my regular baking schedule.

Great use of leftover sweet potatoes. I went ahead with the sugar reduction and split (1 cup total, 1/2 brown, half white) and used homemade applesauce for the oil. I also substituted chocolate chips for the pecans and they were a hit with the kids in muffins and mini loaves.

Wonderful, moist, flavorful --- just plain YUMMY!! I left out the nuts and added chocolate chips and/or coconut. I also increased the amount of cinnamon and nutmeg. Was a hit.

Reduced the sugar and skipped the pecans. Exactly what I was hoping for. Tastes like pumpkin bread. Why does the sweet potato turn green after a few hours? Not very appealing to take to a bible study, but I did.

Per other reviewers' suggestions, I reduced the sugar some (and used half brown) and used applesauce instead of oil. I also added 1/2 t. allspice. A winner! It makes great muffins by the way.

Yummers! I used a cup and 1/2 of yams and only one cup of white sugar, but 1/2 cup of brown sugar.... so moist and yummy! p.s. there is nothing healthy about this recipe, so don't fool your self. It's like saying chocolate covered strawberries are good for you because it has 'fruit' in it. *sure*

Just a few changes to suit my taste: 1)used half white sugar and half brown. Makes for a richer taste and the brown helps retain moistness. 2)half oil and half applesauce to reduce the fat. 3)added some vanilla. 4)used orange juice instead of water (also how I help sweeten my baked yams and apples). bake as directed and serve warmed with a little butter. It makes for a great morning meal or snack. And sweet potatoes are a good source of vitamins. Never mind the sugar :)

Scrumptious! The texture is perfectly moist. I used a stick of Imperial margarine in place of the oil & reduced the sugar to 1 cup - half white and half brown. Thanks for your recipe, Mary!

This bread is awesome. I took the advice of other reviewers and decreased the sugar to 3/4 cup white and 1/8 cup brown. I substituted pumpkin butter for oil like other reviewers suggested. For the flour, I used 3/4 cup wheat, 3/4 cup white and 1/4 cup oat. I baked this in square silicone baking cups and it came out cute, like little mini loaves. I thought this would be too similar to pumpkin bread, but it's different enough to stand out.

This loaf is wonderful! It has a moist slightly dense texture like a sweet potato pound cake. Great for fall weather! And it is easy to make. I will be making this again and again.

Great recipe!! The kids loved it!! Next time will use half the sugar, though and make it brown. This time I used half brown, half white. I added 1/2 cup coconuts and 1/2 cup craisins. Instead of the oil, I added 1 cup applesauce. Next time I will divide into two smaller loaves also instead of one big one. Very moist and delicious!
