Quantities and times are a starting point: adjust them to your taste. Two things don't change: poultry and ground meat must be cooked all the way through, and allergens — always check the labels.

Fluffy sweet potato bread

No yeast, ready in under an hour.

Rico's note: For when you get home late and don't have the patience to wait for dough to rise. Use up the sweet potato left over from last night's dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sweet potato purée (boiled or roasted, well drained) (240 g / 8½ oz) — at room temperature
  • 1½ cups brown rice flour (180 g / 6½ oz)
  • ½ cup sweet cassava starch, polvilho doce (60 g / 2 oz)
  • 2 tbsp sugar (24 g / ¾ oz) — no added sugar: ¼ cup erythritol (40 g)
  • 2 tsp baking powder (8 g)
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum, or psyllium (3 g)
  • ½ tsp salt (3 g)
  • 2 eggs (100 g / 3½ oz)
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil (55 g / 2 oz)

In the no-added-sugar version, eating too much erythritol or xylitol can have a laxative effect.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and grease a loaf pan or a muffin pan.
  2. In a bowl, mix the sweet potato purée, eggs and coconut oil.
