Sweet Potato Bread with Flaxseed and Honey



Sweet Potato Bread with Flaxseed and Honey
(one of the healthiest recipes on my kitchen)


Yield: 16 servings (serving size: 1 (1/2-inch) slice)


1/3 cup flaxseed, 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup (2 ounces) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened, 3 tablespoons butter, softened, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup honey, 1 large egg, 1 large egg white, 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato (canned one good as well), cooking sprayPreheat oven to 350°.
Place flaxseed in a clean coffee grinder or blender; process until coarsely ground. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flaxseed, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; make a well in center of mixture. Beat cream cheese and the next 5 ingredients (cream cheese through egg white); stir in sweet potato. Add to the flour mixture, stirring just until moist. (if dough is stiff add 1/2-2/3 cup of buttermilk)
Spoon batter into an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.


Note: To freeze bread for up to 1 month, place in an airtight container, or wrap in heavy-duty plastic wrap or foil. Thaw at room temperature.
