Preheat your oven to 180 C/ 350 F. Grease an 8"x4" loaf pan.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon powder, and nutmeg powder.
1.5 cups All-purpose flour, 1.5 tsp Baking powder, 1/2 tsp Baking soda, 1/4 tsp Salt, 1 tsp Cinnamon powder, 1/2 tsp Nutmeg powder
Whisk in caster sugar.
1/2 cup Caster sugar
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweet potato puree, coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
1 cup Sweet potato puree, 2 Eggs, 1/3 cup Coconut oil, 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Pour into the dry ingredients and add the lukewarm milk. Mix well until no white streaks remain. This is a thick batter.
1/3 cup Milk, lukewarm
Fold in the walnuts and chocolate chips. Pour the batter into your prepared pan.
3-4 tbsp Walnuts, coarsely chopped, 1/3 cup Chocolate chips
Top with extra walnuts and bake at 180 C /350 F for 40-45 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the cake in the pan for 10-15 minutes before turning it out on a cooling rack.
Cool completely, slice, and enjoy!

Scrub 2 sweet potatoes (approximately 350 gms) and cut into 2 or 3 big chunks.

Steam for 15-20 minutes until completely soft.

Peel the warm sweet potatoes and mash with a fork or make a smooth puree using a food processor.

You may need to add 2-3 tbsp of water while mashing or pureeing them.

All ovens differ! Even when you set the same temperature, your sweet potato bread might bake faster (or slower) than mine. Keep a check at the 40-minute mark.
If your loaf is browning too quickly, tent the top with foil.
To check if the loaf is baked, insert a skewer or toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, your bread is ready.
Let the bread cool completely for about 30 to 40 minutes before you slice. Cutting it too soon makes it crumble.
