Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Bread

Modified: Aug 22, 2016 · Published: Nov 27, 2009 by Anna · This post may contain affiliate links · 12 Comments

Last year’s post-Thanksgiving treat was a brownie made with leftover mashed potatoes. This year, in keeping with the "use-up-the-potatoes" theme, here's a loaf of Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Bread made with leftover sweet potato casserole.

Sweet Potato Casserole is obviously a little sweeter than straight up mashed sweet potatoes, but in this case it doesn't matter much. Sweet or not sweet, it works in the bread.

Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Bread

1 scant cup granulated sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potatoes or sweet potato casserole (8 oz)
1 ½ cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (7.25 oz)
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
½ cup toasted walnut pieces
½ cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 9x5 inch loaf pan with flour-added cooking spray or grease as usual. You could also use a smaller loaf pan, but might have to adjust bake time.

Stir the sugar, oil, eggs, milk, vanilla and sweet potatoes together in a large mixing bowl.

Stir the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together in a second bowl, making sure ingredients are well-mixed. Add the flour mixture, walnuts, and chocolate chips to the sweet potato mixture and stir, without over-beating, just until the ingredients are well mixed.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour and 5 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 20 minutes, then remove from pan.

    Anna,
    This was a great recipe! Not too sweet and wonderful with coffee. Thanks for sharing and helping me use up my sweet potatoes.

    Dawn,
    I use sweet potatoes, yams, and most winter squashes interchangeably. I like butternut and acorn squashes both better than I do pumpkin. It works well. Trust your palate instinct.

    I think the chocolate chips might make it too dessert-like, but the chile peppers would probably be good. I'd use cayenne or chipotle powder.

    I'm going to make a sweet potato marshmallow casserole (with walnuts) to bring to xmas brunch. I was thinking of adding chocolate chips and chils. Am I nuts?

    Hi Alton!

    Thanks for trying it. It means a lot to me since it was kind of "experimental". We liked it too, but it's always good to get an objective review from another baker.

    Anna, I tried this and it was so very good. I took it to my card club and there was none left! I made it in my Wilton Lemon cake pan and it came out so great. I put some of the marshmallows in it and next time I am going to put more. I posted this as my recipe of the week on CLBB's Sunday game of the week.

    Thanks for this post! I had a bowl of sweet potato puree left in the fridge from my sweet potato pie & I was just wondering what I should do with it!

    Anna, your timing is perfect! 🙂 My "assignment" for the family feast was sweet potatoes. I candied them to a fare-thee-well with butter and honey and a touch of cinnamon. Very little left but maybe just enough to bake this delicious sounding quick bread. 😉

    I LOVE sweet potato anything. I even put some leftover casserole in my oatmeal this morning, so I would love this. I promised myself no baking today. And well, since I just did last night's dishes at 4 p.m. today, there isn't really time! Have a great weekend.
