Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed roasted sweet potato (about 1 medium)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
- 1/4 cup milk of choice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup oat flour

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together mashed sweet potato, maple syrup, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
- Add oat flour, almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips and optional nuts.
- Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Add extra chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake for 22–28 minutes, until the center is set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
- Let cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing into bars.
Notes
- Roast sweet potato for best flavor and texture (vs. microwaving).
- Do not overmix the batter to keep bars soft.
- Bars will firm up as they cool.
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
