Loved making this! Super simple. I used gluten free almond flour from Bob's red mill and I baked my sweet potatoes instead of boiling them because they retain more nutrients. I also added a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to cut away the sweetness.

I like the idea of baking the sweet potatoes--they probably retain more flavor that way as well. I am glad you enjoyed it:)

Can puréed sweet potato be used in this recipe?

Hi Amanda: I would say that if it is sweet potato that has been cooked like the instructions state, it would be fine. If it is pureed sweet potato, like baby food, I don't think I would do that because it would more liquid that the recipe currently uses and the bread might not rise.
