This Sweet Potato Quick Bread is a wonder! it really does bake up quick in just an hour. The hardest part will be letting it cool before you dig in. This dense dessert bread doesn’t require any rising time or kneading. We love to call it “book club bread” because you can bake it up right before you need to go somewhere and by the time you get there, it’s ready to serve! The best part is that you really don’t need any special ingredients for this bread. You can top it with sunflower seeds and turbinado sugar, or raw, sugar, but if you don’t have those around you can use cinnamon sugar or another sugar/nut, or sugar/spice blend. You could even ice it is you wanted to!
