Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or oil and flour.
  2. Chop sweet potatoes into 1-inch chunks, microwave with water for 15-17 minutes until tender, then mash and cool.
  3. In a bowl, mix cooled mashed sweet potatoes with eggs, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently to combine without overmixing.
  6. Transfer batter to loaf pan, smooth the top, and bake for 60-70 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. After baking, cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
