Naturally sweet, high in fiber, and full of flavor. The most delicious homemade snack!
I am loving these with some yogurt for a quick gran-and-go breakfast situation.
These bars are so easy and so delish! Whenever I make these for work friends or some sort of gathering, they are gone within minutes! These pack a lot of nutrients without a ton of sweeteners that you’ll often find in packaged snacks. The sweet potato adds a subtle sweetness, with an extra boost of vitamins.
These are gluten free and vegan, and can be made nut free by just subbing a seed butter in place of the peanut butter!
Enjoy! xx

This is one of my favorites! It’s an oldie, but goodie! I make it on Sunday’s so that I have a quick snack that I can grab whenever I get hungry. I put a lot of chocolate chips in mine and I use a full sweet potato–I’ve never measured how much of either ingredient and they always turn out perfectly.

Could I use an egg instead of flax? Thank you!

I haven’t tried it, so I can’t say for sure how the texture would turn out! Let me know if you try it!

I replaced the maple syrup & ground flax with an egg and tbsp of sugar and they turned out very well! I will try them with flax and syrup next time!
