From Parenting Magazine. Another great dessert with secretly added nutrition! Ingredients:
cooking spray |
5 tablespoons butter |
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup sweet potato, pureed |
1/4 cup carrot, pureed |
2 large bananas, mashed (about one cup) |
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract |
2 egg yolks |
1/2 cup old fashioned oats (not quick cooking) |
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional) |
Directions:
1. NOTE: Carrot & sweet potato purees can be used interchangeably, use one or the other, or both, as long as it totals 1/2 cup.
2. Preheat oven to 325. Spray bottom, not the sides, of an 11x7 or 9 inch square baking pan.
3. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter, sugar & salt. Remove from heat and allow to cool about 5 minutes.
4. Whisk in puree, bananas, vanilla, & egg yolks. Add the oats and flour, and mix until just combined. Pour entire mixture into prepared baking pan and bake 40-43 minutes, until a tooth pic comes out clean.
5. Allow to cool completely in pan before cutting. If desired, melt the white chocolate chips and drizzle across bars.
