Apple pie spice or cinnamon can be substituted for pumpkin pie spice.

Can I use fresh cooked sweet potatoes instead of canned?
I don't see why you couldn't try that! Just make sure to mash them with 2 Tbsp of liquid (water maybe) as per the directions so that you're not losing that amount of liquid from the recipe.
This sounds wonderful! Would anyone know how many carbs per serving?
Hi Anonymous, the actual recipe that I have is a photocopy of a print out that is squirreled away in a binder in my kitchen. So it's pretty old and it does not have any sort of "healthful" information listed with it. Sorry about that!
Great Recipe! I used actual sweet potatoes instead of canned and it came out amazing! :)
Thanks for the update! Glad it came out tasty. ;-)
Is there any way of turning this into more of a diabetic friendly recipe by using sugar and egg substitutes?
I see some people substituted fresh sweet potatoes. How many would I need?
"Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray" What size pan? 9x5" or 4x8" ?
9" x 5"
A 15 oz. can of sweet potatoes has a lot of liquid. What would the measurement of mashed sweet potatoes be? That answer will help me convert the recipe to the use of fresh sweet potatoes.
Would that be like 1 and 1/2 cups of mashed sweet potatoes?
I can't wait to try this!! Thanks for posting!
Made the recipe today and it is great!
Can I use mini loaf pans
Made today love love loved it
AMAZING recipe, despite my measuring error it still turned out Great!!! I used a real sweet potato, but used 16 ounces and made 2 loaves instead of using that much in one. LOL Still AMAZING Bread and so moist!!!
Glad it turned out so well for you! And people never believe how delicious is until they taste it for themselves. LOL!
How many sweet potatoes?
Wish your recipe could be printed . . . Sounds Awesome!
For the person who wished they could print,if you will select and copy you can take it to your word program and paste. From that you can print. Hope this helps.
15 Oz by weight
Simply click control, then P. The print box will come up and you can choose size of paper, # of copies, etc., and then click the print button. This is how I printed this recipe.
Do you use all the liquid in the canned sweet potatoes & I want to double it but I bought a 40oz can and only need 30oz. Can I use it all or should I just mash them and weigh out 30oz?
You only use the 2 Tbsp of liquid that you reserve. You mash the sweet potatoes with this liquid. Probably best to weigh out the 30 oz you need for two loaves.
But I hate pumpkin anything! I think I will try another spice
To print, just right click and select print!
Apple pie spice or cinnamon can be substituted for pumpkin pie spice. Enjoy!
Wow, made this today and it is wonderful. Definitely in my "Keepers" file..
I will use coconut oil, and use honey in place of sugar

Hi. Can I use only egg whites or egg substitution as allergic to egg yolks? How much to use if different? Also what is a good substitute for white flour when you are gluten free for this recipe? Will the amt used be the same?
There is no pumpkin in it. Pumpkin pie spice is a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves.
do you double the liquid if your using a 30 oz can of yams and do you double the eggs and other ingredients
Yes, if you're using two times as many yams, you should double the rest of the ingredients too.
I've used applesauce in place of sugar
Can i use self-rising flour in stead of all purpose.
Wanda? I don't know if you have made this yet, but consider Almond Flour if you don't have a nut allergy.
Use King Arthur GF flour and 1 cup applesauce for each egg in the recipe.
Does 1 3/4 cup means 1cup and 3/4 cup?
I am making this right now. I altered the ingredients a bit. I used whole wheat flour, coconut sugar and much less, apple sauce instead of oil and extra spice. I try to always try to make baking a bit healthier. So this could be a success or a total disaster. :D
Just had a taste and was really good, next time cut back even more on the sugar to only 1/2 cup. Was still too sweet at 3/4 cup.
Delicious. I doubled the recipe and made two loaves.
I have a friend who can,T eat nuts what can I use instead.gene
Hi Gene, you might want to omit the pecans altogether if your friend has a nut allergy. Otherwise, white chocolate chips might taste good in this recipe.
Want to make this and give as gifts. Can I use mini loaf pans? If so, I wonder if I need to adjust cooking time?
Hi Anonymous! If you're going to use mini loaf pans, I would keep the temperature the same and then check/toothpick test them at 20, 30, and 45 minute intervals to see which is the correct cooking time. Good luck!
I have a sweet potato flour..can I use it? Thanks for the answer.
Hi Anonymous! I have never used sweet potato flour before - is it one that you can substitute in regular baked goods? If so, I'd say go for it! Have a Merry Christmas!
I am going to use self rising flour since that is all I have. Hope it works.
If using mini loaf pans, approx. how many do you think this recipe use? If that is hard to estimate, how full should the pans be filled?
