If you love soft, flavorful bread but don’t have an oven, don’t worry! This sweet potato bread is easy to make on a stovetop and uses only natural, wholesome ingredients. It’s a delicious way to enjoy the goodness of sweet potatoes in a simple, homemade bread.

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium sweet potato (mashed)
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • ½ cup warm milk (or plant-based milk)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Sweet Potato

Peel and chop the sweet potato into small pieces. Boil it in water until soft, then mash it well. Let it cool before using.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well so everything is evenly distributed.

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potato, honey (or maple syrup), warm milk, and olive oil. Stir until smooth.

Step 4: Combine and Knead

Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms, then knead it gently for about 5 minutes until it’s soft and smooth. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour.

Step 5: Cook on Stovetop

Heat a non-stick pan on low heat. Lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil. Place the dough in the pan, cover with a lid, and let it cook for about 15 minutes on one side. Flip it carefully and cook for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6: Cool and Enjoy!

Let the bread cool slightly before slicing. It’s perfect for breakfast or a snack, served with a bit of honey, nut butter, or fresh fruit.

This homemade sweet potato bread is nutritious, easy to make, and full of flavor—all without needing an oven! Enjoy!
