   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/2           cup  olive oil -- plus
   1 1/2           tsp.  olive oil -- divided
   1 1/2           cups  all-purpose flour
   1           teaspoon  baking powder
   1           teaspoon  ground cinnamon
      1/2      teaspoon  kosher salt
      1/2           cup  pure maple syrup
   2        tablespoons  white miso paste
   1         tablespoon  pure vanilla extract
   2              large  eggs
   1             medium  sweet potato -- peeled and grated (1 1/2C)
      1/2           cup  raw shelled pumpkin seeds -- (pepitas)

In the world of healthful breads, sometimes the concept is more 
exciting than the taste itself. Not so in the case of this loaded 
loaf, which has a full sweet potato folded into the dough, plus a 
heap of gut-friendly miso for savory umami flavor and 
antioxidant-rich pumpkin seeds which are also a source of healthy 
fats, magnesium, iron, and zinc. The result is a wonderfully moist 
and flavorful quick bread. Think of this as a just-sweet-enough 
remake of a sugary morning treat, giving you something just as 
healthful as it is delicious. Serve with a dollop of jam or a healthy 
smear of almond butter.

Hands-On: 25 Mins
Total: 2:50
Yield: 1 loaf

Preheat oven to 350F. Brush an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2" loaf pan with 1 
teaspoon of the oil. Whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt 
in a bowl and set aside.

Whisk maple syrup, miso, and vanilla in a large bowl. Whisk in eggs 
and 1/2 cup of the oil until well combined; fold in sweet potato. 
Gradually add flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Transfer 
batter to the prepared pan.

Toss pepitas with remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil in a small bowl and 
sprinkle over batter in pan. Bake until a skewer inserted in the 
center of loaf comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Let cool in pan, 
about 30 minutes. Remove bread from pan and transfer to a wire rack. 
Let cool completely before slicing. Store tightly wrapped at room 
temperature for up to 5 days.

Review: I made this recipe last night. The result was a delicious 
snacking bread. I used a food processor to grate the sweet potato 
rather than a box grater. I worried that the long strands of sweet 
potato might affect the crumb. Thankfully it did not. The only change 
I would make next time is to chop the pepitas before adding them to 
the top of the loaf. The whole pepitas looked very pretty, but many 
of them 'popped' off when I sliced the bread. I also tried to give 
this recipe 5 stars (as KREVNES below) but was only able to give it 4 stars!

Review: Fairly easy to make and really delicious. We were going crazy 
over the smell of the bread baking. I baked for 55 minutes, let it 
cool for 30 minutes in the pan and then 15 minutes on a wire rack 
before cutting. Turned out very moist with lovely, subtle flavors 
with the miso, maple syrup, and sweet potato. We loosely count our 
macros and this isn't too terrible for a little splurge; I cut the 
bread into 10 slices and each serving is 29g carbs, 17g fat, 5g 
protein; 285 calories. I will come back to this recipe come 
fall-time! (looks like the star rating may not be working 
properly--was trying to give this 5 stars)
