Feature Recipe For The Week 10/22/16
This moist bread can be made as muffins or bread (it makes two regular loaves). A hint of orange is mixed with the sweet potatoes and the batter is perfectly spiced with Pumpkin Pie Spice and True Cinnamon. Great fall flavors that come together deliciously.
Ingredients
2 cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
1/4 cup Orange juice
2 tsp Orange zest
2 tsp Orange extract
3 cups flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp True cinnamon
1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
Preheat oven to 325. Prepare loaf pans by spraying then with non-stop cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, oil, eggs, sweet potatoes, orange juice, orange extract, and the orange zest. In another bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients, except for the nuts. Add the dry ingredient mixture to the sweet potato mixture. Stir to fully combine. Fold in the nuts. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans. Bake the loaves for about 75 minutes or until a knife inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean. Cool loaves on a rack.
