Simple Pumpkin or Sweet Potato Bread Recipe Best Spice Cake Mix Recipes

Quick breads make a great breakfast or snack. My popular Yummy Yam Bread with Crumble Topping is a sweet potato bread recipe that I love for several reasons.  Also, you can substitute canned pumpkin for sweet potatoes to turn it into an easy pumpkin bread! First, this yam bread recipe is melt-in-your-mouth delicious and one of my favorite spice cake mix recipes. Especially, when you are looking for that seasonally spiced-just-right dessert. Second, it starts with a spice cake mix.  I think this quick bread recipe tastes like the holiday season.  Cinnamon, spice and sweet potatoes are definitely prime ingredients. Yummy Yam Quick Bread is in my cookbook KITCHEN 101: Secrets to Cooking Confidence because this is one of the easiest quick bread recipes ever. I also have a simple banana bread recipes that is made with Bisquick.  Quick breads make great snacks or breakfast.

Terrific Tip: 1 (15-ounce) can sweet potatoes = 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes,  If you have leftover baked sweet potatoes, here’s your sweet solution. Make my sweet potato bread with canned or fresh sweet potatoes.

From cookbook: KITCHEN 101: Secrets to Cooking Confidence

Sweet Potato Bread with Crumble Topping or Not?

KITCHEN 101 is about healthy easy recipes and simplified cooking for you. I happen to love this sweet potato bread recipe because it is so easy and such a delicious quick bread.

This recipe has two options.  You can make it with or without the Crumble Topping.  Now, if you use the topping, the recipe isn’t diabetic, however, without the topping the Yummy Yam bread is a diabetic-friendly recipe.  I hope you enjoy this sweet potato recipe as much as I do.

Substitute Canned Pumpkin for An Easy Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Did you know you can substitute canned pumpkin for mashed cooked sweet potatoes in any recipe.  So, just use canned pumpkin for an Easy Pumpkin bread.  Both pumpkin and sweet potatoes complement the spice cake mix making this one of my favorite fall recipes.

Toss Away Those Old Pot Holders and Wait Until You Try These Oven Mitts for Baking

Axe Sickle (Set of 2) Silicone Heat Resistant Cooking Pinch Mitts, Mini Oven Mitts Gloves, Cooking Pinch Grips (Set of 2) Silicone Heat Resistant Cooking Pinch Mitts, Mini Oven Mitts Gloves

I have these heat resistant silicon oven mitts and love them. I think they are easier to grasp hold of the pan and use since they are short. Personally, these are my favorite because they don’t get dirty. My pot holders all look horrible even after I wash them. They are inexpensive, easy to store and do the job.

They also make a cute gift (for yourself). There’s also silicon baking cookware that I have used.  You might want to check it out from baking sheets to Bundt pans.

    1. Does this mean to NOT add any of the ingredients on the Spice Cake mix box??
    2 All of the boxes of spice cake mix I could fine were 15 ounces. Is this ok?
    Please advice ASAP. I am making this NOW!

    3.Thank you for adding the crumble topping recipe!
    I love all of your recipes!

      Use the size Spice cake mix box you found (they changed the size) and do not add any other ingredients on the spice cake mix–just the ingredients in the recipe. You’ll love this quick bread!
