Ingredients

Instructions 

  • First, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Wrap sweet potatoes in tin foil and pierce with fork several times. Place on baking sheet.
  • Roast sweet potatoes for an hour, or until potatoes are fork tender.
  • Once tender, remove from oven. Carefully unwrap and peel potatoes.
  • Place flesh of sweet potatoes and all remaining ingredients (except nuts) in food processor or blender.
  • Then, blend on high for 15 to 20 seconds or until smooth and creamy.
  • Lower oven heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch by 8 inch pan with parchment paper.
  • Spread batter into lined pan. Sprinkle with pecans and walnuts if desired.
  • Bake for 25 to 27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Finally, remove from oven. Place blondies in fridge for 2 hours until fully cooled. Then slice and serve.

Notes

  • About 2 large sweet potatoes are sufficient for this recipe.
  • Use creamy nut butter, not crunchy.  Almond butter works best, but cashew butter and peanut butter work as well.
  • Process batter until fully smooth and creamy.
  • Do not forget to lower oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before baking blondies.
  • Allow blondies to cool completely in the fridge before slicing and serving.
  • These bars are VERY gooey!  I suggest slicing with a very sharp knife and cleaning knife before each slice.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
