    Sweet potatoes are so good in baked goods. I love the sweet fall flavor they add. These Sweet Potato Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Bars (vegan and healthy) are a delicious way to utilize sweet potatoes in baking.

    These bars are so easy to make, you just need one bowl and no mixer is required. They are also made with healthier ingredients and less sugar than most desserts.

    Let's get into the recipe.

    These sweet potato bars are

    • easy to make
    • healthy for you
    • plant based, gluten free and dairy free
    • full of healthy fats and fiber

    Ingredients for sweet potato chocolate chip bars

    • sweet potato
    • coconut sugar
    • maple syrup
    • almond butter
    • plant milk
    • coconut oil
    • oat flour
    • rolled oats
    • salt
    • chocolate chips
    • baking powder

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions to make sweet potato oatmeal bars

    1.) Add all wet ingredients to a bowl and mix. Pour in dry ingredients and mix. Lastly fold in chocolate chips.

    2.) Add batter to an 8x8 baking dish lined with parchment paper.

    3.) Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

    4.) Let cool, slice and enjoy.

    Substitutions

    • Almond butter can be subbed with another nut or seed butter. I do not recommend using tahini because it is too liquidy.
    • You can omit chocolate chips or sub them with nuts
    • Maple syrup can be subbed with honey
    • Coconut sugar could be subbed with brown sugar
    • I do not recommend subbing the oats or flour
    • Sweet potato could be subbed with banana or pumpkin but of course than these would not be sweet potato bars

    Other healthy treats to try

    • 3 ingredient banana oatmeal muffins
    • healthy single serve cookie
    • vegan pumpkin cake

    Ingredients

    This makes 9 bars

    Wet ingredients

    • 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flax seeds + 5 tablespoons water)
    • ½ cup mashed and cooked sweet potato
    • ¼ cup coconut sugar
    • ¼ cup maple syrup
    • ½ cup almond butter
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ¼ cup melted coconut oil
    • ¼ cup plant milk

    Dry ingredients

    • 1 ½ cups rolled oats
    • 1 ¼ cups oat flour
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • pinch salt
    • ¾-1 cup chocolate chips

    Instructions

    1. Make your flax eggs by mixing flax with water. Let sit for at least 5 minutes until thickened.
    2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    3. Add all wet ingredients to a bowl and mix until just combined. Pour in dry ingredients except for chocolate chips. Mix again until just combined. Lastly fold in chocolate chips.
    4. Pour dough and spread evenly into an 8x8 baking dish lined with parchment paper.
    5. Bake bars for 20-28 minutes. I baked mine for 25 minutes, a knife should come out mostly clean when finished cooking.
    6. Let bars cool for 15 minutes, slice and enjoy. Store the leftover bars in a sealed container in your fridge for up to 5 days, or in your freezer for months.

      I really like this recipe. I made it using applesauce instead of oil. You only need a small piece to satisfy the cravings for sweets. I am going to try to freeze it. Next time I am going to add some spices. Thanks for the recipe!

      I made this tonight and would try it again, with a couple small adjustments. My daughter is allergic to coconut, but I always try recipes as written the first time around. Next time, I'll substitute applesauce for the oil and add a touch of cinnamon (I know not everyone can tolerate it.). The texture was great; moist & a little chewy!
