Ingredients

• 1 cup Sweet potato (mashed)
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 medium Onion (finely diced)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the diced onion until golden brown and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potato, eggs, milk, and olive oil until smooth.

Step 5

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold the caramelized onions into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Step 8

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
