Instructions
- Prep Oven and Pan:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and sugar.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, mix the mashed sweet potato, eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry:
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add Cheese and Jalapeños:
- Gently fold in the shredded cheddar and diced jalapeños.
- Shape Loaf:
- Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, drop large biscuit-sized mounds of dough into the loaf pan, stacking and layering them loosely for a pull-apart effect.
- Top and Bake:
- Smooth the top lightly and sprinkle with extra cheddar, if desired. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift out and finish cooling on a rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
