Healthy Sweet Potato Bars With Oatmeal Whole Wheat Cookie Crust image

You will not miss the sugar and fat I took out of this dessert bar. It would also work well with carrots or pumpkin. I like to cook the sweet potatoes in the microwave ahead of time for easy peeling later.

Categories     Pie

Time 1h25m

Yield 24 squares, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups sweet potatoes (4-5 whole)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup oil
2 egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses

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.

These bars are the perfect way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. They are also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potato, but these bars were surprisingly good! The cookie crust was the perfect complement to the sweet potato filling.

I followed the recipe exactly and the bars turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more cinnamon to the filling.

These sweet potato bars were a hit with my family! The cookie crust was perfectly crispy and the sweet potato filling was creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.
