Delicious Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Savory Loaf Recipe to Try

Ever stared down a dry sandwich bread or tried to make gluten-free bread that wound up…basically sad? Same. That’s why I keep coming back to this Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Savory Loaf recipe. It’s one of those “set it and forget it” recipes that you can actually pull off without special equipment or flour blends you’ve gotta hunt down. All the instructions are simple, like the ones on gluten-free bread recipes or the handy stuff over in baking basics techniques. Plus, this loaf? Stays soft. I know. Let’s talk about why you might wanna bake this…right now.

Healthy Paleo Sandwich Bread

Ask me what I want in a sandwich loaf and I’ll shout “soft, earthy, not crumbly” at you before you can finish your sentence. Sweet potato in bread? Yeah, it sounds a little weird the first time you hear it. But I swear, it brings in this gentle sweetness and keeps the loaf moist. And you won’t believe it’s paleo and gluten-free, because it tastes, well, almost too good.

This recipe skips all the gums and strange stabilizers you find in those bagged “gluten-free” breads at the store. Seriously, if you’ve ever peeled open a supermarket version and found a slice that felt like packing peanuts…oof. No, thanks. Making a savory bread that actually tastes like real food is not impossible with this, and you don’t even need to be a pro. Just a couple of regular pantry items—nothing wacky.

“As someone who thought gluten-free meant flavor-free…this loaf changed my whole breakfast game. It’s “steal it before breakfast is done” good.”

How to Make Sweet Potato Bread

Honestly, you’d expect a whole kitchen blow-up scenario, but it’s pretty straightforward. First you need to roast your sweet potato—not boil, please, trust me on this. Roasted gets that caramel flavor. Then, scoop, mash, and let cool.

Mix eggs (I use large), olive oil, and a splash of apple cider vinegar. Whisk in your sweet potato. In a different bowl, combine almond flour, a little coconut flour, just a pinch of baking soda, and salt. Stir the dry into the wet. Here’s where the magic happens: the dough won’t look like “normal” bread dough. That’s totally okay. Spoon it into a pan, smooth the top, bake until it doesn’t jiggle. If you want a step-by-step for other basics, check out easy gluten-free bread recipes for beginners. High five, you’re basically a bread wizard now.

My pro tip: Let it cool completely. I say this like I always wait… I do not always wait, but for sandwich slicing, it helps.

Storage Tips for Sweet Potato Bread

Got leftovers? Ha, me neither—kidding. Assuming you manage not to eat the whole loaf straight away, it’s actually easy to keep fresh.

For one, if your kitchen’s not roasting, you can wrap the loaf in parchment and stash in an airtight container for two or three days. Want it longer? The freezer’s your best friend. Pre-slice before freezing—awkward, but worth it—so you can just grab and toast. That’s my breakfast hack. Don’t put it in the fridge unless you like dry bread, which…no one does.

“Tried your storage tips and wow, it stayed soft for three days, which has never happened with any other gluten-free loaf I’ve tried!”

Gluten Free Sweet Potato Bread Options

Not a fan of almond flour? Allergies in the house? I get it, and so here’s the good news: There are lots of ways to riff on this savory bread. Swap in a seed-based blend (like sunflower seed flour). Maybe add shredded zucchini if you’re into hiding veggies from picky eaters (guilty as charged here).

Check out options over at gluten-free flour blends when you feel ready to experiment. Also—if you go egg-free or dairy-free, be sure to adjust the liquids so things don’t get gummy or pasty. Trial and error, people. I mean, some of my best “fails” have turned out to be family favorites. Go off-script sometimes, you’ll surprise yourself.
