Have you ever baked with sweet potatoes? This is a first for me.
I was inspired by the lovely and very talented Sonia @saltnpepperhere, who posted stories of her and her cute little daughter Elise making sweet potato muffins.

So I got thinking about the delicious earthiness of sweet potatoes and how much I love these versatile orange gems. I came up with this sweet potato oatmeal loaf with spiced almond oatmeal streusel topping.
