  • Sweet Potato Bars with a Sweet Tahini Drizzle

    May 26, 2017 / Niki / 2 Comments

    I’ve been thinking about creating a sweet recipe using sweet potato for a little while now. My theory was that I could swap my usual banana which I use as a natural sweetener and use sweet potato instead. I’m very happy to say that it worked a treat!
    Here’s the result; soft and delicious sweet potato breakfast bars, super healthy and packed with lovely wholesome ingredients like seeds, oats, spices and then sweetened with sweet potatoes & dates. And finally topped with a sweet tahini drizzle which adds a little sweetness and nuttiness – so good!

    They may sound unusual but I really think you’re going to like these. ????

      No way, I would have never guessed that sweet potato would work in a recipe like oat bars! I’m surprised I didn’t think of this either! These bars look incredible and they most likely taste even more amazing!
