Step-by-Step Instructions for Vegan Sweet Potato Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9"x6" baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, combine the cooked and mashed sweet potatoes, small bananas, and plant-based milk, blending until creamy and smooth.
  3. Add the ground oats, sugar of choice, cocoa powder, ground hemp seeds, cinnamon (if using), and baking powder to the wet mixture. Blend until all ingredients are evenly combined and thick.
  4. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 30-40 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  5. Once baked, let the brownies cool for 20-30 minutes before lifting them out of the pan to slice into bars.
