Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x5x3" loaf pan; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and ginger. In a separate bowl, combine sweet potatoes, maple syrup, eggs, butter, milk, and vanilla; stir well to mix. Combine flour mixture and sweet-potato mixture, stirring until just blended. Stir in pecans. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 50 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.
