The dreamiest Paleo Dark Chocolate Marble Sweet Potato Loaf ever. This is a personal favorite and one that is made with all gluten-free, dairy-free and paleo ingredients and topped with a dreamy chocolate crumb topping.
This is my favorite recipe EVER. Paleo Dark Chocolate Marble Sweet Potato Loaf has officially won over my heart, soul and every ounce of space in my stomach. I am a sucker for any bread/loaf recipe, that is for SURE.
I so did not expect to love this bread so much, especially since I am pretty new to the whole sweet potato-loving crew. I never really enjoyed them until recently when I was in San Diego and had the best crispy thin-cut sweet potato fries ever. Since then I have been craving them like crazy and love finding unique ways to use them.
Plus this bread is absolutely a unique way to use sweet potatoes. I totally underestimated the usage of them and am so pleasantly surprised with how this loaf came out.
Oh and not to mention it has a dark chocolate loaf layer and a crumble on top! It is super moist (yes, whatever I love that word) and has no refined sugar, grains, gluten or dairy!
There are three parts to this recipe so it definitely looks a little intimidating but I promise you it is much easier to make than it appears! One layer is a homemade sweet potato bread recipe then the other two chocolate layers use Simple Mills Chocolate Muffin Mix aka my go-to baking mix for everything. They are such a game changer in the food space and I am so grateful for products like theirs.
Simple Mills makes a variety of grain-free and coconut sugar-sweetened baking mixes, pizza mixes, breads and now they even have ready-to-eat products like cookies and various crackers. It is unreal how delicious it all tastes and they use ingredients that I use in my own home. So pretty much if I were to make a cupcake from scratch, it would be using the same ingredients Simple Mills uses too.
Their mixes are amazing just following the directions on the back or you can get a little creative and think outside the box with them (inspo here). Just like this Paleo Dark Chocolate Marble Sweet Potato Loaf
What ingredients you need to make this sweet potato loaf:
- Simple Mills Chocolate Muffin Mix
- Eggs

How to make this paleo Chocolate Marble Sweet Potato Loaf with crumb topping:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a bread pan
- Start by making the sweet potato layer by mixing together sweet potato, eggs, maple syrup and vanilla until smooth
- Add in flours, baking powder and spices and mix to completely combine
- Next make the chocolate layer by whisking together eggs, melted coconut oil, water and vanilla in a large bowl
- Add in chocolate muffin mix and mix well until complete combined then set aside
- Lastly make the chocolate crumble layer by mixing together the melted coconut oil, water and vanilla then add chocolate mix
- Stir until evenly combined (it may be crumbly, it is ok!)
- Pour sweet potato loaf on bottom of the pan and spread evenly across
- Add the chocolate layer and swirl with a tooth pick if desired, if not just leave as is
- Sprinkle the crumble layer on top and bake in oven for 30 minutes then add a layer of tin foil on top and bake for another 20-25 minutes or until ready! I used toothpick test to see if it is ready
- Let the bread cool for before cutting (I know, patience!!)

Hi! love this one! but I don’t live in the US. how can I make this without the muffin mix?
Thanks XX!
Rachel
hi ariel! i recommend finding a chocolate loaf recipe and combining it with this! since it was a sponsored post for simple mills, i have only used the mix. also the loaf would be great with just the sweet potato part and add some chocolate chips 😉
