Mini Sweet Potato Corn Bread Loaves
I was starving about a few minutes ago, until I dug into these sweetly delicious sweet potato corn bread loaves I made earlier this morning. Renovations are a daunting task that seem to never end around here. I have been dodging the bullet around for painting the bathroom for a while now. See my husband does all the building and fixing, making things perfect, and I have the duties of painting, staining, and cleaning, seems fair I guess, he really does all the hard work. I just can’t seem to get in the mood for painting, probably because I have to paint the ceiling, I hate that part the most, other wise I usually enjoy painting and staining, and doing all the pretty finishing touches. These sweet potato corn bread loaves are giving me the right amount of get it done energy, so I shall leave you with the fabulous recipe and get myself back to some much procrastinated labour work. Ciao for now!
- 1 cup organic white flour
- 1 cup fine yellow corn meal
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. sea salt
- 2 eggs
- 1-1/4 cup skim milk

- Scrub sweet potato and pat dry, place onto a microwave safe dish place in the microwave and cook for 8 minutes until fork tender.
- Allow sweet potato to cool slightly, peel off the skin and mash sweet potato, how smooth of a mash you like is up to you.

Great post, love the pictures. Don’t we all have so much to do all the time, at least we have simple pleasures like these sweet potato corn bread loaves.
Claire you are very right, life is so busy, but yet so sweet especially when there is good food involved:)
These look delicious! I must make them before I get started on my living room reno, need to tare out the carpet, no fun at all.
Teri, I guess i shouldn’t complain, pulling out carpet sounds a lot worse than painting a small ceiling. Good luck and glad you liked the recipe.
So excited to try out this recipe, its gonna be perfect with my chicken dinner tonight, plus its a great way to get some extra veggies into those kiddies. Thanks for sharing.
Shelly, sounds like you are making a nice dinner tonight, and the fact of sneaking in a little extra veggie to the kids is exactly why I try to come up with recipes like this, hope all of you enjoy them.
I am a big lover of corn bread, never thought of using sweet potato, this sounds fantastic. I am giving this recipe a try right now. I will let you know how they turn out thanks for the share.
Lori, can’t wait to hear you feedback, thanks for the interest.
