Ingredients
  

2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (approximately 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes)

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

2 large eggs, at room temperature

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon fine salt

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional for added texture)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing it lightly with cooking spray or butter, or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

    In a large mixing bowl, add the mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Using a whisk or electric mixer, blend all ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.

      In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, fine salt, ground cinnamon, and freshly grated nutmeg until evenly incorporated.

        Gradually incorporate the dry ingredient mixture into the wet sweet potato mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix, as this can affect the final texture. If desired, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for a delightful crunch.

          Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, using a spatula to spread the mixture evenly across the surface.

            Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.

              Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Afterward, carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely and heighten its flavor.
