Soft and delicious sweet potato breakfast bars, healthy and packed with wholesome ingredients like seeds, oats, spices – sweetened with sweet potatoes & sticky dates.
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 thrilled 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!
