Sweet Potato Bread

Nothing tantalizes the taste buds quite like the smell (and taste!) of fresh baked bread! Even better when that bread is a clean eat treat that includes one of my favorites - sweet potatoes!

This Sweet Potato Bread is deliciously spicy with a hint of sweetness, perfect to tantalize even the toughest of taste buds!

Bread often gets a bad wrap because so many of them are laden with salt, refined sugar and whole bunch of other unhealthy ingredients that the body just can't put to work.

Good news bread lovers! With a few simple swaps you can have your favorite bread and support your goals too! I promise, you won’t even miss what’s missing!
