One slice of this warm, tender sweet potato bread and you’ll see why it’s one of our favorite sweet potato fall desserts.

Ingredients

3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2-2/3 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
4 large eggs, room temperature
2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
2/3 cup canola oil
2/3 cup 2% milk
1-1/2 cups raisins
1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, whisk the first 8 ingredients. In another bowl, whisk eggs, sweet potatoes, oil and milk until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Fold in raisins and walnuts.
Transfer to 2 greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 55-60 minutes. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool.

My family loves quick breads. This one is moist and spicy. If you don't have mini loaf pans, it works just as well in regular size pans. —Nancy Foust, Stoneboro, Pennsylvania
