½teaspoonbaking soda
½teaspoonground allspice

Directions
Meanwhile, whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, allspice, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl until fully combined.
Cut the partially cooled sweet potato open lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh and transfer to a large mixing bowl (discard the skin). Mash with a fork until no large clumps remain, about 45 seconds (you should have about 1 cup). Add milk, maple syrup, oil, vanilla and eggs; whisk until smooth. Gradually add the flour mixture, whisking until just combined.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Bake until golden brown and a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool completely on the rack, 30 to 60 minutes.
To make ahead
Wrap cooled bread tightly with plastic wrap; store at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
