Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
1 cup mashed sweet potato (from about 1 medium sweet potato, cooked and cooled)
½ cup packed light brown sugar
¼ cup maple syrup
⅓ cup neutral oil (such as canola oil or vegetable oil)
¼ cup plant-based milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with a strip of parchment paper that overhangs the two long sides, so you can lift the loaf out cleanly.
2
In a small bowl, stir together the ground flaxseed and 3 tbsp water. Set aside for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens to a gel.
