Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mashed sweet potato (about 1 medium sweet potato)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tbsp miso paste (white or red, depending on flavor preference)
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds (plus extra for topping)
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp flaxseeds
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • Optional: 1-2 tbsp honey or maple syrup for a slight sweetness

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare Sweet Potato: Boil or steam sweet potato until soft. Mash until smooth and let it cool.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and seeds.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potato, milk, miso paste, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. Add honey or maple syrup if using.
  5. Combine and Pour: Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not over-mix.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle extra seeds on top for a decorative crust. Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  1. Flavor Adjustment: Use white miso for a milder taste or red miso for a stronger, more umami-rich flavor.
  2. Nut Variations: Add chopped walnuts or almonds for extra crunch.
  3. Sweetness: Add a hint of maple syrup or honey for a touch of sweetness.
  4. Gluten-Free Option: Substitute with a gluten-free flour blend.
  5. Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for later use.
