Ingredients

2 sweet potatoes medium
1/3 cup coconut oil or butter, melted
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 9x5 non-stick loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Microwave sweet potatoes for about 8 minutes, or until tender. Cut in half, scoop out the flesh, and mash in a large bowl.

Add flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Mix until just combined.

Let cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

If your sweet potatoes are very large or very small, measure out about 1 1/2 cups of mashed sweet potato for the best texture.
For a nutty twist, you can add 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts along with the chocolate chips.
