    Vegan Sweet Potato Bread with Cranberries or other berries of choice. Easy 1 Bowl Sweet Potato Cranberry Loaf with winter spices. Use pumpkin for variation. #vegan #VeganRicha #Nutfree #Soyfree #Recipe

    This Sweet Potato Cranberry Bread makes for a hearty snack or breakfast. It is full of winter spice, moist and delicious just like my Pumpkin loaf. It needs just 1 Bowl. Add berries of choice or add some chopped dates or some chocolate chips. the batter can be easily baked into muffins. Freeze to have a slice available whenever needed! 

    This is a mildly sweet,, nicely warm spiced breakfast loaf. Add a streusel or icing for a cake! Use pumpkin or butternut puree for variation. Lets make some!

    Tips to make moist vegan Loafs

    • Volume wet ingredients such as sweet potato puree, pumpkin puree, banana etc make amazing moist cakes. They also can tend to add more invisible moisture to the batter which can lead to gummy cakes. The batter will feel somewhat stiff because of these purees, but it still might need more dry to have the right amount to absorb the moisture and bake a fluffy cake. These purees leak moisture during baking which cannot go anywhere. When in doubt add a bit more flour. See video for reference on how thick the batter should be.
    • This ratio is more of a problem when baking a loaf than if you bake the batter into muffins or a less height cake pan. If baking a loaf, you want the batter much more stiff. Add more flour until there is good resistance. 
    • The crust might feel harden when just baked, but will soften after a an hour or so when cooling.

    Author: Vegan Richa

    Ingredients

    • 1.75 cups  (218.75 g) flour (I use a mix of 3/4 cup wheat and 1 cup all purpose), See GF option in Notes below
    • 1/2 cup (80 g) coconut sugar , or other fine sugar, add 2 tbsp more for sweeter
    • 1 tsp cinnamon
    • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
    • 2 tsp baking powder
    • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) baking soda
    • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) salt
    • 1 cup (100 g) fresh cranberries or mixed berries
    • 3/4 (0.75) scant cup sweet potato puree (I use canned puree), or use well mashed boiled or steamed sweet potato
    • 3/4 cup (177 ml) non dairy milk
    • 1 tsp lime juice or apple cider vinegar
    • 3 tbsp oil or omit

    Instructions

    • Preheat your oven to 365F (185°C). Line a loaf pan with baking paper and set aside. 
    • Whisk 1.5 cups flour with the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add berries and mix.
    • Mix vinegar into the non-dairy milk. then add it to the dry ingredients. Add sweet potato puree and oil and mix well to combine into a smooth batter. If the batter is too thin then add more flour a few tbsp at a time. (If you are baking muffins, you can keep the batter less stiff. For loafs or larger volume baking, you want the batter to be thicker, stiff with a more dry to moist ratio ad the sweet potato puree will leak moisture during baking.)**
    • Spoon the sweet potato bread dough into your prepared loaf pan. (Add a streusel if you like. )
    • Bake at 365 deg F (185 C) for 55 to 60 mins. (25 mins for muffins). Check with a toothpick from the center. Cool for 10 mins then remove from pan and cool completely before slicing. 
      Store on the counter for the day and refrigerated for upto a 5 days.

    Notes

    **If using mashed sweet potato, you will need less flour.

      Is it ok to use Aata as a substitute for ‘wheat flour’ when baking?

        Atta is more like whole wheat pastry flour. It has less gluten. In recipes where the recipe doesn’t use all wheat flour you can substitute atta. In most of the recipes I use a combination of flours, so atta will work.In recipes such as my whole wheat bread which is all whole wheat flour, atta won’t work well

      I would like to sub the flour with either coconut flour or almond flour. Would the measurements still be the same? I am a sucker for pumpkin anything!, and I can’t wait to try it and smell it baking, LOL!

        I have a gluten free bread/cake already on the blog. May be try that instead of modifying this one. Direct sub for GF baking does not work. https://www.veganricha.com/2017/10/vegan-gluten-free-coffee-cake-sweet-potato-pecan-crumb-cake.html

        yes, use a mix of Oat and Almond. Make this GF cake instead with that mix. https://www.veganricha.com/2017/10/vegan-gluten-free-coffee-cake-sweet-potato-pecan-crumb-cake.html

      This sweet potato bread looks exquisite! I would love to enjoy a slice of it every single day until the loaf disappears. Thank you so much for the baking tip! I notice that my oil free pastries generally turn out gummier than anticipated. I don’t mind that texture but I realize that it’s not ideal for all baked goods. I’ll definitely try adding more oat flour next time I make a recipe with sweet potato or pumpkin puree!
