Notes
Please read all of the helpful tips and info above before making this recipe.
Baking times will vary slightly, depending on your oven and the type of bakeware you use. I use a glass loaf dish when making this recipe. Start checking around the 50 minute mark.
2 medium sized sweet potatoes will give you the 1 ½ cups of pureed sweet potato needed for this recipe.
It's important to know that different gluten-free flour blends use different ingredients and ratios, so results can vary if you substitute. I've never used any other brand of flour to make this recipe (other than Bob's Red Mill with the red label, not the blue! Click that link to see the correct one), so please know that your results may not be the same as mine if ingredients are substituted.
This recipe will NOT work with coconut flour.
