Ingredients

400 g cooked sweet potato* about 3
4 eggs medium
140 g cashew butter
60 g coconut oil melted to liquid state
75 g coconut flour
30 g tapioca flour
75 g walnut halves
30 g chia seeds
25 g flaked almonds
25 g pumpkin seeds
20 g sunflower seeds
20 g sesame seeds
15 g ground flaxseed
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 180°C / 160°C fan / gas mark 4 and line and grease a 2lb loaf tin.
Beat the sweet potato, eggs, cashew butter and coconut oil in a large mixing bowl or food mixer.
Reserve a few of the nuts and seeds for sprinkling on the top of the loaf.
Combine the coconut flour, tapioca flour, the rest of the nuts and seeds, turmeric, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl.
Tip the dry ingredients into the sweet potato mixture and beat until well combined.
Pour into the loaf tin, smooth down the top and scatter over the reserved nuts and seeds.
Bake for 50-55 minutes or until an inserted cocktail stick comes out clean.

Notes

You can prepare the sweet potato in the oven or the Instant Pot:

To cook in the oven wrap each potato in aluminium foil and bake for 1-1 ½ hours (depending on the size of the potato). Leave to cool then unwrap from the foil, peel away the skins and mash the flesh with a fork.
To cook in the Instant Pot, pour in 250ml of water into the Instant Pot insert. Set over a trivet and place the whole sweet potatoes in a single layer. Pressure cook for 15 minutes and then quick release after 5 minutes. Peel the sweet potatoes away from their skins and mash with a fork.

Happiness Bread is very moist and as such keeps well in the fridge for up to 5 days. (or 3 days out of the fridge)

It can be frozen for up to 2 months. It’s a good idea to freeze in slices so you can remove them from the freezer the night before you want to eat some.
