Description
Your average sweet potato bars just got a coffee makeover with these Sweet Potato Pie Coffee Bars. Easy, quick, and all around delicious!
Ingredients
Filling
- 4 cups sweet potato, peeled & diced (about 2 medium)
- ½ cup cold brew
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 3 tbsp arrowroot powder
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Crust
- 1 cup pecans
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 tbsp almond flour
- 5 tbsp water
- 3/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Add the diced sweet potatoes to a vegetable steamer or a pot + colander combination with 3″ of water. Cover and steam for 15 minutes, or until fork tender.
- Next prepare the base layer for the bars. Add the pecans, rolled oats, almond flour, water and salt to a food processor and process until a fine crumble forms. Press the dough into a greased or lined 8×8 baking tray and use a spatula to pack it down.
- Add the steamed sweet potato to the food processor with the remaining ingredients, and process until thick and smooth. Spread this mixture over top of the oat crumble, using a spatula again to even out the top.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes
- let cool for at least 30 minutes before removing from the pan and slicing.
Notes
- These bars are lightly sweet so if you want a sweeter bar just add some type of granulated sugar (not more liquid sugar)
- If you don’t have arrowroot powder you should be able to substitute it for corn starch.
