Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup sweet potato puree
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and cinnamon thoroughly.
Step 3:
Add the sweet potato puree and honey to the oat mixture. Stir all the ingredients together until they are well combined and the mixture is evenly moistened.
Step 4:
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Press the mixture firmly into the dish, ensuring it is spread evenly.
Step 5:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the bars have set.
Variation
For a nuttier flavor and added texture, consider mixing in a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans. If you prefer a bit of extra sweetness, sprinkle some mini chocolate chips over the top before baking.
Notes
The bars should be firm and hold together when cooled; however, if they seem too crumbly, consider adding a bit more honey or sweet potato puree to the mixture before baking for additional moisture.
Serving Suggestions:
Cut the bars into squares or rectangles once they have cooled completely. These bars can be served on their own, or with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a deliciously hearty breakfast or snack.
Tips:
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Make sure your oats are certified gluten-free if you are catering to those with gluten sensitivities.
