    What to Substitute for Sweet Potato

    If you can’t find fresh or frozen sweet potato, you have a couple of choices. Butternut squash will work. You can find it already cubed in the produce section of most larger grocery stores.

    If you’re short on time, you can use a cup of mashed, canned pumpkin. Don’t use the mashed pumpkin with spices, though. You’ll want the plain mashed pumpkin.

    Substitute for Apples

    The apples add a little unexpected sweetness to the Sweet Potato Apple Cinnamon Bread. If you don’t have fresh apples, you can use raisins for a similar sweetness. I prefer golden raisins here. You could even imagine that they are actually small pieces of apple.

    I’ve not specified the variety of apple in the recipe, but I’ve used Gala apples. I’ve lived in Arkansas nearly my entire life and I’ve only known of 6 or so different varieties of apple. Did you know that there are about 2500 different varieties of apple grown in the United States? That’s a lot of apples!

    Substitution for Sour Cream

    If you don’t have any sour cream, you can use plain yogurt or Greek yogurt, if you have it handy. Buttermilk is also a good substitute.

    Nutrition Information

    If you would like to reduce the calories, there’s a quick and convenient way. Just omit the chopped pecans and the Icing. This reduces the calories by a little over 100 calories per slice!

    Storage Tips

    This quick bread will keep in an airtight container for about three days. It’s so moist that it shouldn’t be left out longer than that. Put it in the refrigerator to solve that problem!
