Savory Sweet Potato Pan Bread with Sun-Dried Tomatoes

When I was researching food holidays for the month of September, I came across the fact that September is National Potato Month! Whether they’re talking about regular potatoes or sweet potatoes, I am not sure. But I thought it only made sense to kick off the month with a potato-full recipe that I know you’ll all love.

I’ve been holding onto this recipe for a while now, but I think it’s finally the perfect time to share it based on the paleo foods kick I’ve been on in the past few weeks. First, I replaced bread in your classic tuna melt recipe with sweet potato toast, and today I am giving you a healthy, paleo bread alternative that’s super easy to make and totally flourless!

It’s an awesome replacement for cornbread or can even be sliced up and used for gourmet sandwiches!

I give you my Savory Sweet Potato Pan Bread with Sun-Dried Tomatoes!

Yep you heard that right…PAN BREAD! No yeast or waiting for dough to rise. Just pull out a handy-dandy skillet and pour your ingredients in. This recipe cooks up perfectly and results in a fluffy, delicious bread that you’d never know was paleo or gluten-free.

It’s also flourless and full of amazing flavor from all the different spices/herbs used. My mom’s sweet potato hoarding comes in clutch again with inspiration for another delicious recipe! 😉

  • Category: Savory Snacks

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ lb sweet potatoes, peeled, diced, and steamed until soft
  • 10 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp parsley flakes
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • ½ cup tahini
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup almond meal
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • sesame seeds, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375. Mash sweet potatoes into a puree. Mix with tahini and eggs. Add in spices, almond meal, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Once evenly mixed, fold in sun-dried tomatoes until evenly distributed throughout the batter. Spray a cast iron skillet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper and then pour in the bread batter. Spread evenly in the skillet. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 30 minutes or until knife comes out cleanly from the center. Let cool completely on a wire rack, slice, and serve with extra tahini drizzled on top!

So have you ever had paleo bread before? I’ve had gluten-free varieties, but nothing really like this recipe! It’s almost like a mix of cornbread and cake in terms of texture. Dense, doughy, sweet n’ savory all at the same time.

And did I mention it’s great drizzled with extra tahini on top? In all honesty, I am not a huge tahini fan, but in this recipe…it’s killer! And it tastes even better with more on top. The sweet and savory flavors within the bread compliment the rich, nutty tahini so well. And who doesn’t love a slice of bread drizzled with a buttery spread?

  7. Ooh, a great way to use Tahini! And I’m so glad you did the research on finding out that this was National Potato Month; are you going to share more potato recipes?

  12. Umm… I am headed to the grocery store RIGHT NOW! Not only does my family love sweet potatoes, but this is great because we eat as close to paleo and hit the gym as much as possible during the week {then usually eat pizza all weekend, hehe}. I love that it has tons of good stuff in it! YUMMY! I wonder, would this be a good recipe for doubling and freezing? Have a great day.

  16. YUMMMM!!!!!!!!! YUMMM! Did you hear me?! YUMMMM! lol!

    I wanna make this – but I might make it sweet – sweet potatoes have told me that they like being baked sweet (in my kitchen) – haha!

  19. This might be one of my favorite recipes that you have posted. And that’s saying a lot, you post fantastic recipes. I have taken a waffle recipe and added pumpkin puree then toasted the waffle and used it for bread on a sandwich. But this sounds right up my alley. It’s so perfect for this time of year too. Thank you so much I’m always looking for a good gluten-free bread alternative.

  23. HI Kaila,
    These sweet potato bread sound wonderful. I love any thing made with sweet potato and I have eaten sweet muffins and made them myself before that were very much like your bread recipe. They were always so moist and delicious. Thanks for sharing on Real Food Fridays. Pinned & tweeted!

  34. This pan bread looks so incredible! I’ve been wanting to try a skillet bread for ages and this recipe sounds perfect. I’m such a tahini addict so I love that this features so prominently! 🙂

  40. Thanks for this recipe. When naturopath advised me to go gluten free, I had to give up wheat, rye, barley and all grains including oats. I miss not using buckwheat, sorghum, etc.
