Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup mashed sweet potato Provides natural sweetness and moisture.
  • 1/2 cup creamy all-natural peanut butter Adds richness and nutty flavor.
  • 1/2 cup real maple syrup Enhances sweetness with a natural touch.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Provides depth of flavor and aroma.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Adds warmth and spice to the blondies.
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour Helps bind the ingredients and adds texture.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Helps the blondies rise and become fluffy.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Enhances the overall flavor of the dessert.
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips Adds sweetness and a chocolatey richness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking tin by greasing and lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Pierce the sweet potato with a fork several times. Steam in the microwave for 3-5 minutes until very fork-tender. Allow to cool, cut it open, scoop out the insides, and discard the skin.
  3. Alternatively, bring a pot of water to a boil, peel and cut the sweet potatoes into quarters, and cook for 10-12 minutes until fork-tender. Mash after cooling.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
  5. Add 1 cup of mashed sweet potato to the mixing bowl.
  6. Add the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt to the mixing bowl. Stir until everything is well combined.
  7. Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, and spread the batter into the prepared baking tin. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the bars to cool before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

For best results, use ripe, firm sweet potatoes. Allow the blondies to cool completely before cutting to maintain structure.
