How to Make Sweet Potato Streusel Quick Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Pierce a medium sweet potato (about 1 pound) several times with a fork.
- Place the sweet potato on a microwave-safe plate lined with a paper towel. Microwave on high for 7 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Wrap the cooked sweet potato in a clean paper towel and let it stand for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
- Peel and mash the sweet potato until you have 1 cup of mashed potato.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter and microwave on medium power for 20 seconds, or until softened.
- Stir in 1/4 cup chopped pecans and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
- Lightly spoon all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg into separate dry measuring cups, leveling with a straight edge.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Add the mashed sweet potato, 1/4 cup of milk or orange juice, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1 large egg to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
- Pour batter into an 8x4-inch loaf pan that's been coated with cooking spray.
- Drop the pecan streusel mixture by spoonfuls over the top of the batter.
- Gently press the streusel into the batter.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
