Healthy Sweet Potato Bars With Oatmeal Whole Wheat Cookie Crust Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch (23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, stir together the mashed sweet potatoes, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla until well combined. Add the oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg and stir until well combined.
• Transfer the mixture to the baking pan and spread in an even layer with a spatula.
• Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and top with the slivered almonds and shredded coconut, pressing gently into the bars. Bake for another 10 minutes, until the coconut is lightly toasted.
• Let cool for 10 minutes, then slice into 9 bars.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Put sweet potatoes in a microwave safe dish and add some water to the bottom. Cover with saran wrap.
• Microwave on high for about 7 minutes or until knife inserts easily. Let cool.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Put dry ingredients in food processor and pulse until oatmeal is ground.
• Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl with egg whites and oil.
• Press into greased 13x9 pan. (I like to line it with foil and then grease it for easy cleanup).
• Bake for 10 minutes.
• Peel sweet potatoes and put in large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix with a hand blender until smooth.
• Pour over crust.
• Bake for 45 minutes or until set.
• Cool before cutting.
• Store in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix melted butter, cake mix and the egg with a mixer.
• Spread into a greased 13x9 baking dish and pack it down to form an even crust layer. Set it aside.
• Cream together the sweet potato, cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer until smooth.
• Add the vanilla, sugar and spices and continue blending.
• Beat the eggs, add to the mixture and blend until fully incoptorated.
• Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly over the cookie layer.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes until the center is set but still soft.
• Cool and cut into squares.

Steps:

• Lightly warm all the ingredients.
• Mix all other ingredients together in a bowl except the honey, golden syrup, tahini and the LSA.
• Add the honey, syrup, tahini and mix well together.
• Add 1/3 cup of the LSA and as much more to 1/2 cup as required to bind the mixture together then spread onto a tray lined with baking paper.
• Spread evenly and allow to set (20 mins in the fridge should do it). Warming the honey/golden syrup a little enables them to combine more easily and the LSA helps to bind the mixture.
• Cut into bars and eat just as they are or coat in chocolate.
• Chocolate dip: Melt 400g chocolate in a bowl over a water bath until the temperature of the chocolate mass is 43C, remove from water bath & fold in the 200g grated chocolate which should lower temp to 35C as it melts. The chocolate is now tempered and ready to use.(There is a 2-3 degree C window of variation working with chocolate.).
• ***If your palate is more savoury try 3/4 cup tahini & ¾ cup of honey & omit the golden syrup.

Steps:

• Cream butter and brown sugar until fluffy.
• Add eggs, vanilla and peanut butter if using, to butter and brown sugar.
• Add flour.
• Pour into an un-greased 1/2 sheet baking pan (jelly roll/cookie sheet pan).
• Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. (may take less time be sure to check after 15 minutes.).
• Allow bars to cool. Frost with a thin layer of vanilla frosting.
• Allow first layer of frosting to set up. Frost with layer of chocolate.
• Top with crushed pecans or walnuts.
• Bars freeze really well and can be pulled out for a quick dessert. I usually freeze with wax paper between layers.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Rub the sweet potatoes with the vegetable oil and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake until fork-tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and let cool, then peel and mash in a large bowl.
• Add to the mashed potatoes the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla, eggs, and 2 1/2 cups of the milk and mix well. Set aside.
• Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the graham cracker crumbs and pecan pieces in a food processor and process for about 1 minute, to make a fine meal. With the motor running, gradually pour the melted butter through the feed tube and process for 1 minute. Transfer the crumb mixture to a 13 X 18-inch baking pan and, using your fingers, firmly press the crumbs evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
• Pour the sweet potato mixture into the crust and spread evenly with a rubber spatula.
• Put the chocolate morsels and the remaining 1/2 cup milk in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Spoon the chocolate in three rows, about 2 inches apart, lengthwise over the sweet potato mixture. Then, with a knife, make a zigzag pattern to marbleize the chocolate and the sweet potato mixture.
• Bake until the edges are browned and the filling is set, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. To serve, cut into bars.
