DEB'S FAMOUS SWEET POTATO BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Whisk together dry ingredients.
• Whisk eggs in a separate bowl.
• In a large mixing bowl or using a large bowl with a stand-up mixer, mix together all ingredients thoroughly 5 minutes. Scrape sides regularly with a rubber spatula to ensure a proper mix.
• Scoop mixture into small to medium loaf pans, filling each pan 2/3 full. I use a decorative pan of my Mom's that has 4 small loaf pans in one pan.
• Bake at 350° 45-60 minutes depending on your pan size and oven. Use the toothpick test to judge, but don't overcook. You want this bread to be moist.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan.
• Turn out onto cooling racks. Wrap with Saran or another cling wrap to keep fresh.
