Sweet Potato Wheat Loaf with Sunflower and Pumpkin Seeds

Edit
I love how cheap and nutritious sweet potato is. A root vegetable, it is high in Vitamin C to boost our immune system, Vitamin D to build healthy bones, potassium to regulate heartbeat and so forth. Importantly, for those with a sweet tooth, the natural sugars in sweet potato do not result in sugar spike in our bodies.
In the name of health, here's another wheat loaf recipe - Sweet Potato Wheat Loaf with Sunflower and Pumpkin Seeds. Do note that this loaf has quite high proportion of wheat flour. So for those who innately dislike the taste of wheat, you can adjust this recipe with plain flour instead. Feel free to also change the type of nuts or seeds if you wish.
By the way, if you have extra sweet potato left after making your loaf, do try your hand at making sweet potato mooncakes! It's super yummy and healthy too. Enjoy! :)
