- Add applesauce, mashed sweet potatoes, ½ cup reserved cooking water, and oil, and mix well.
- Add coconut palm sugar (or brown sugar), flour, nut meal, baking soda, salt (optional), and pumpkin pie spice and walnuts, combine just until well blended (do not overstir).
- Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Pour batter into loaf pan. Place in oven and bake for about 1 hour and 25 minutes.
- Makes a dense, moist loaf. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Gently remove bread from the loaf pan. Slice into 12 slices. Serve warm, or chilled, as desired. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
