  Pour into prepared pan. Bake in 350 degree oven for 50-60 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a knife into the center of the loaf. If the knife comes out clean, the loaf is done. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove loaf from pan and cool on a wire rack. Allow the loaf to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

  Notes: you can use canned sweet potatoes as long as you rinse and drain them before mashing. Leftover roasted sweet potatoes also work. You can also use walnuts. To make this into Pumpkin Bread substitute 1 C canned pumpkin for the sweet potatoes and decrease the cinnamon to 1/2 tsp.
