I knew I could lure some of you food bloggers over here if I combined sweet potato and oatmeal in a recipe. These two foods seem to be very popular in the food blog world. I will admit that I am a fellow lover of both. This recipe is egg and dairy free, so all you vegans can enjoy this one too. This bread was so moist and full of sweet and spicy flavors. (Secret: I used organic baby food for the pureed sweet potatoes. They are already pureed, so I didn’t have to do it.)

1 cup hot water
1/2 cup agave nectar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 cup pureed sweet potatoes

1 cup hot water
1/2 cup agave nectar

That loaf looks simply delicious. My family has fallen in love with quick breads. They made such a nice snack for the kids when they get home from school and I love it that I can sneak good veggies – like sweet potatoes – into their diet without protest.
It was nice to see your little dragonfly in my kitchen

WOW. Just, wow.
You are right! I think both oatmeal and sweet potatoes have definitely taken over the food blog world.
This recipe sounds great!
perfect way to combine both of my favorites!
And plus it’s sooooooo easy to make!

ohhh you lured me alright! i buy sweet potato bread every weekend at the farmer’s market. it’s my favorite!!
That looks really great and I’m sure the texture is wonderful, too!
I am no food blogger (far from it), but sweet potatoes AND oatmeal? Girl, you are speaking my language. Can’t wait to try it – and since my husband is sure to turn his nose up at this, it will be ALL MINE!
I love how simple this is!
Guess what I just printed out to make tomorrow?!
ooh, so yummy!!!
O_O
MUST MAKE!
???????????????????????????????????
Hi, what can I use if I do not have agave nectar and in what proportion? Thanks, it does look yummy!
sounds wonderful!
What a lovely vegan recipe! Thanks for sharing
Ooh, this looks very good. I’d love some!
Wow does that bread look great!!
Megan, do you have to buy oat flour, or can you make it with rolled oats?
Thanks
Hahaha consider me lured!
we made your enchiladas the other day. well, i should say my 3 yr old son did…my husband loved them
YUM! Oatmeal bread is one of my favorites, and with sweet potato?! Genius, girl, I say it all the time but it couldn’t be more true!
This bread sounds fabulously moist and wonderful. I love spicy, homey tasting breads, and this one sounds right up my alley. It looks delicious, and I love your use of the baby food–such a great tool!
The bread looks great! I made muffins with sweet potatoes once, but I didn’t puree them. I will have to try this idea.
I’m loving this – I can almost taste it from here.
If I have honey, would I use the same amount as for agave? Thanks! This looks great and I’m so happy there’s not extra sugar!!
Jennifer
Megan, what a great recipe. Sweet Potato and Oats! AND dairy free??? Sounds like a bread I would love.
I must make this bread!!! Sweet potatoes are amazing with everything!
I made the bread this weekend- with plenty of alterations, including adding dairy, and it tastes OK. The middle though is still dough-like, even though I left it in the oven for about 45 minutes. Is this the way it should be?
Jennifer
Jennifer- I am sorry it didn’t turn out right.It does turn out moist, but not doughy in the middle. I am wondering if the use of dairy made it a little different. What exact alterations did you make? Krista made it with applesauce, but I think she made it with all the same ingredients otherwise, and it seemed to turn out rigt. Here is her post: http://kristaskravings.blogspot.com/2009/03/lot-to-talk-about.html
I used whole wheat flour (same amount as in the recipe), honey (a little less than the 1/2 cup called for) and no chocolate chips, applesauce (same amount as in the recipe) and no help powder.
Thanks for that link.
Jennifer
Yummu I love sweet potato bread. The oatmeal gives it a nice twist i cant wait to try this recipe.
This sounds great! I’ll definitely be making it soon.
I can’t wait to try this! I love sweet potatoes and have been wanting to bake more of my own breads lately. This would be perfect for my morning toast routine.
Agave–yeah!!
Thanks!
You know thatI truly appreciate the use of the agave nectar and voerall ‘health’ of this bread.
I made these the other day, except I made muffins. They are absolutely delicious! I had one for dessert (and maybe once for breakfast!) with cream cheese icing — to die for! Thank you for the wonderful recipe.
This one is a definite must try! Sounds and looks delicious!
What does agave refer to? I don’t know about agave. Is this a flower?
But dish seems very unique flavoured than normal bread.
