Crumble Top Sweet Potato Bread

Our Crumble Top Sweet Potato Bread is one of our favorite ways to use the sweet potatoes that come out of our garden. We are having a big sweet potato harvest this year so I have been making this awesome recipe and even freezing extra loaves to have on hand. This bread has a combination of great spices that compliment the sweet potatoes, then we topped the bread with nutty crumble topping. This is a great bread for brunch, dessert or a special treat, and we make a great gift!

4 cups fresh sweet potato puree

1 (29 ounce) can sweet potatoes in syrup, drained and mashed

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2/3 cup orange juice with pulp

1 cup half and half

2 eggs beaten

8 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled

4 cups self rising flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon all-spice

1 cup pecans, chopped

Directions

Crumble Topping

In a medium size mixing bowl, crumble the butter into the flour, add the brown sugar, oats and pecans. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use on the bread.

The Bread Batter

The Sweet Potatoes

Boil Method

For the fresh sweet potato puree, peel the 3 or 4 large sweet potatoes and chop in large chunks. Place in a stew pot and cover with water and 1 teaspoon salt. Boil until just done and fork tender. Drain the water from the pot and mash the potatoes. 

Roasting Method

Place 3 or 4 large sweet potatoes on a large baking sheet. Roast in a 425 degree oven for 45 minutes or until they are fork tender. Remove the skin and mash the potatoes.

The Batter Mix

In a large mixing bowl, mix together the mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, granulated sugar, orange juice, half and half, eggs, and cooled melted butter. 

In another mixing bowl sift in the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and grated nutmeg into a bowl, add the nuts and stir well.

Add the dry mix to the wet mix and mix completely until completely blended well.

Spray 2- 9 X 5 inch loaf pans with a baking spray.

Spoon the batter into the 2 loaf pans, then sprinkle the crumble topping over the top of the loaves, dividing the topping equally.

Bake at 325 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick test will come clean from the center.

Cool the bread in the pan on the cooling rack for 10 minutes.

Carefully taking care with the topping, turn the bread out on the cooling rack and let cool completely before slicing.

Tips

This bread freezes really well for up to 3 months.
