Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups sweet potatoes (mashed and cooked)
- 0.5 cups almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
- 0.25 cups maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups oat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 cups dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the cocoa powder, oat flour, and baking powder to the wet ingredients. Stir until a thick batter forms.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the baking dish before slicing into 9 squares.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
