DIY Home Sweet Home: Sweet Potato Bread with Cinnamon-Honey & Cranberry Spread

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Dollar General. All opinions are 100% mine.
What is your favorite place to shop when you need to buy a few groceries but you don't want to deal hustle and bustle of the busy super markets?
For me, it's the local Dollar General.
I tend to get stressed out in crowded areas and unfortunately the super markets in my town are always crowded. Lucky for me though, there is a Dollar General a few blocks from my house! I can usually find the most of the items on my shopping list there, and they are never crowded. This is especially true around the holidays. Last year I was able to purchase the a lot of my baking ingredients, presents, and gift wrap at dollar general.
Speaking of holidays..., you guys are in for a real treat today because this recipe is amazing. If you decide to try any new recipes this season, make this the one! The sweet potatoes, apple sauce and buttermilk in this recipe do an amazing job at keeping the bread amazingly soft and moist.

1 Can Sweet Potatoes (drained)
2 Tbs Apple Sauce
1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
1/4 Cup Buttermilk
1 Tsp Vanilla
1 3/4 Cups Flour

Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and light brown sugar in large bowl. Mix well.
Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Using a spoon, mix until well blended making sure not to over mix.
