Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups Teff Flour
- 1/4 cup Arrowroot Flour
- 1/4 cup Tapioca Flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum (Or Guar Gum if you are sensitive to Corn)
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 3 teaspoons Dry Ener-G Egg replacer (omit the water)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ginger Powder
- 1 1/2 cups Brown Sugar (Sucanat Sugar could also be used here! Or other Natural Sugar of your Choice)
- 1 Stick of Melted Earth Balance Butter (1/2 Cup)
- 8 tablespoons Organic Apple Sauce
- 1 can Organic Sweet Potato Puree
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips (I Love to use: Enjoy Life- Vegan Dairy/Nut/Soy Free Chocolate Chips)
- 1/2 Cup Chopped Pecans (optional)
Directions
This Bread is Quick to throw together- With the added bonus of the health Benefits that come with Sweet Potatoes. Sweet potatos are rich in Vitamin A(betacarotene) and Vitamin C. Both Vitamins A and C are powerful antioxidants that work in the body to remove free radicals. And- They are a great food for diabetics as they help stabilize blood sugar levels. For the Flour I selected to use Teff. Teff is loaded with Fiber and has more Protein than wheat. Not to mention that is has tons of calcium, thiamin and iron. Teff is one of my favorite Gluten Free Flours
- Preheat oven to 350.
- In a large bowl mix all of the dry ingredients. (Including spices)
- In a separate bowl- mix the wet ingredients- (butter, applesauce,Sweet Potato Puree and Vanilla extract)
- Pour the wet into the dry and mix really well. Pour in the chocolate chips and Chopped Pecans and fold in.
- Coat a bread pan with non-stick spray and pour in the batter.
- Bake for 1 1/2 hours.
- Allow to cool for a 15 minutes or so and then eat!
This Bread Freezes Well- If you want to do this make sure the loaf has fully cooled before wrapping it tightly and sticking it in the freezer!

Hello! I've been enjoying your posts so much – thank you
for your great recipes. I'm new to allergy-free baking and need to
avoid corn and soy. I've noticed that several of your recipes are
labeled corn/soy-free but use Earth Balance – doesn't that have
corn and/or soy in it? I hope I'm wrong! Thank you again!
Hi! Thanks for the comment. Earth balance comes soy free in a red tub.. The sticks are not soy free which I hate- as I recently have pulled away from using soy myself. It's slightly more costly to buy the tubs vs. The sticks but the option is there at least
In regards to the Corn- this is a reallly good question. I'll look into this.
Many people use coconut oil
In place of butter in recipes- while I do not do this often myself- it could be a good option for you
Bad News- Earth Balance Does contain Corn! Boo.. Sorry for this mistake on my end. I’ll go correct it. As I suggested above I think your best bet is Coconut Oil. Some vendors suggest using 3/4 cup of Coconut oil per 1 cup butter. But I also know many people that have used it in equal amount as the Butter called for in the recipe and had great success. I’m going to experiment with this myself- so I can speak from personal experience on this topic.
Again Sorry for my error!
I made this bread last night and it came out so delicious. i altered the teff flour since I didnthave any on hand. I used 1/2 cup sorghum flour and 3/4th cup buckwheat flour. Tastes very well. Thank you for the great easy recipe.
Thank you SO much for commenting to tell me this!! I LOVE getting feedback!
So Happy it turned out well for you. I don't often use Buckwheat flour and I love that you tried that! xo- Brittany-
What would you say to substituting a gluten free flour blend of millet, brown rice & sorghum for the Teff? Would that be a decent substitution? Also, would it be best to use this recipe or the Gluten Free/Vegan Quick Bread Base recipe if I am wanting to make a sweet potato bread WITHOUT chocolate chips. Thanks!
Sure. Give it a try.. Quick bread recipes tend to be pretty forgiving! Either recipe will work great without the chocolate chips! So I suggest you just pick the recipe that looks more appealing to you! Good Luck!
What size can or how much sweet potato? I have never seen cans up here (northern Canada) so I have no concept of how much we are talking about! Looks yummy, trying new recipes for my GFCF kids
Thanks!
