Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, stir together oats, almond flour, and salt for the crust.
Add maple syrup and melted coconut oil to the dry ingredients and mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 12 minutes.
While the crust is baking, blend all filling ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth.
Pour the filling over the baked crust and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for 35 minutes, until the filling is set and edges are slightly darkened.
Let the bars cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing.
Optional: Top with coconut whipped cream or chopped pecans before serving.

Notes

Use orange-fleshed sweet potatoes like Beauregard or Garnet for best flavor and texture.

Can be made nut-free by replacing almond flour with oat flour or sunflower seed flour.

Bars improve in texture after chilling overnight—great for making ahead.

Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Swap coconut milk with thick non-dairy alternatives like cashew or oat cream if needed.
