Pumpkin, squash, sweet potato mania is still in full swing. Unlike some other bloggers I like waiting til October and November for those types of recipes… maybe it’s just me but I cannot get excited about pumpkin flavored food in August (including craft beer). So bring on all the fall food now… enter sweet potato bars… they are gluten free friendly, sweet but not too sweet. If you don’t like coconut flour you could use more oat flour, but you might have to increase a little liquid. These babies are super moist… similar to fudgey brownies but without the fudge… maybe next time I will add chocolate though, that sounds good. I used peanut butter chips to change it up and because I found out Trader Joes only carries them seasonally. Get them while you can, you won’t regret it. White chocolate chips would work well also if you like that kinda thing. These would be a good healthier dessert option for thanksgiving or even Christmas.  Or a desserty breakfast, hey it’s the holidays, everything in moderation!

Ingredients:

1 cup coconut flour

1 cup oat flour

1 tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

¼ cup maple syrup

¼ cup applesauce

¼ cup coconut oil

1 ½ cups sweet potato, cooked and mashed

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

1/3 cup peanut butter or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions:

1.       Measure and combine dry ingredients (coconut flour–>pumpkin pie spice) in large bowl

2.       In separate bowl combine wet ingredients (maple syrup–>vanilla)

3.       Add wet ingredients to dry and stir thoroughly, mix in peanut butter chips if using

4.       Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes

Easy right? Do you like sweet potatoes more as a dessert option or savory option (like sweet potato chips)?
