How to Make Sweet Potato Pecan Bread
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, mash one (15-ounce) can of sweet potatoes until smooth. Add the mashed sweet potatoes to the wet ingredients and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
