Sweet Potato Banana Bread
Why I Love This Recipe
This recipe was born out of the desire for wintertime after work snack and a limited stock in my pantry. I always have overripe bananas in my freezer, though, so banana bread is an easy option. This particular evening, I just so happened to have a rather tired looking sweet potato on hand, and I thoroughly believe in the "waste not, want not" principle.
