Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes cooked and peeled
2 small ripe bananas peeled
1/2 cup unsweetened plant based milk
1 1/2 cups ground oats
2/3 cup granulated sugar or coconut sugar
5 tbsp ground hemp seeds or other ground nuts or seeds
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8x8 or 9x6 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Cook the sweet potatoes by roasting or steaming until very soft, then let them cool slightly and remove the skins.
Add the cooked sweet potatoes, bananas, and plant based milk to a large food processor and blend until creamy and mostly smooth.
Add the ground oats, sugar, ground hemp seeds, cinnamon, and baking powder to the food processor.
Process the mixture until a thick, smooth, glossy, and sticky batter forms, scraping down the sides as needed.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and use a damp spatula to spread it evenly into the corners and smooth the top.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top looks set and the edges are just beginning to pull away from the sides of the pan.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 20 to 30 minutes.
Lift the brownies out using the parchment paper, slice into 8 squares, and serve once cooled.

Notes

- Use very soft, fully cooked sweet potatoes for the fudgiest texture. Steaming or roasting both work well.
- Ripe, spotty bananas add sweetness and help with binding, so avoid using firm or green bananas.
- You can make ground oats by blending rolled oats in a blender or food processor until fine.
- For added richness, drizzle cooled brownies with your favorite vegan chocolate sauce before serving.
- Store brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
