Preparation

Chef’s notes

This recipe makes a gigantic, towering loaf. If your loaf pan is slightly smaller, consider making a muffin with the extra batter to avoid spilling.
The excess of cinnamon sugar on top adds a delightful texture. If you'd prefer less, you can use half the amount.
You can also make this as muffins, which should yield about 18 standard ones, baking for 25 to 30 minutes.
This recipe works well with mashed sweet potatoes or other squashes, though wetter squashes may cause a looser batter.
The sugar quantity is scaled for the large loaf size, but feel free to adjust based on your preference.
