Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked, mashed sweet potato (approx 2 medium)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup nut butter
• 1/3 cup plain yogurt (I used whole milk)
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 2/3 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
• Optional: chocolate chips to melt and drizzle.

Directions

• Combine first 7 ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. (For a completely smooth batter you could use a blender but I just mash everything with a fork.)
• Add baking powder and protein powder and stir until well combined.
• Pour into a greased 9x9 baking pan (line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal).
• Bake at 375 degrees for 13-15 minutes.
• Let cool, slice into 8 bars and drizzle with chocolate if desired.
