Double chocolate banana sweet potato bread
For not being a big fan of banana bread this wasn’t too bad. My niece said “Delicious!”
I found this recipe from Chewoutloud.com on foodgawker. I was suckered in by the photo. This happens a lot with photos of food for me.
I started with some funny looking sweet potatoes.
And put them in a bowl with a mashed banana.
Mixed them together but didn’t worry too much about lumps.
Added butter, sugar
Then greased the pan with the last of the butter from a butter paper because that’s what my mother always did.
I used Bob’s red mill all purpose gluten free flour and Bob’s xanthan gum.
Baking powder,
and cocoa powder.
The xanthan gum certainly make things sticky!
Last I tossed in some chocolate chips and some white chocolate chips.
I kinda had to fight it off the spoon it was so sticky.
Bake for about an hour or less if you’re using mini loaf pans like I did.
Cool in pan for at least 10 minutes. Turn bread out onto wire rack and cool completely before slicing.
