Healthy Sweet Potato Blondies

Who doesn't like blondies, especially with a morning cup of coffee? Here's a healthy version that tastes divine, and your kids would gobble it up as well. 

You need:

2/3 cup sweet potato puree (peeled, boiled and mashed)
1/4 cup oil (or low-fat yogurt)
2 tbs Stevia/ honey
1/4 cup brown sugar (honey)
1/8 cup skimmed milk/ soy milk
Vanilla
1/2 cup wholemeal flour
1/8 tsp baking powder
a dash of salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1/2 tsp ginger powder
Optional: nuts/chocolate chips

- Preheat oven to 350 f/180 c
- Prepare a small baking pan/sheet with enough parchment/baking paper to cover the sides, then lightly brush it with coconut oil/cooking spray
- Mix the sweet potato puree with oil/yogurt, milk, sugar/honey and vanilla.
- In another bowl, mix flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and ginger.
- Gradually add the dry mix to the liquid mix. Add nuts/chocolate chips if desired.
-Pour the mixture into baking sheet/pan, and flatten the surface with an offset spatula/knife/back of a spoon.
- Pop it into preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Don't over-bake so as not to dry it too much.
- Leave to cool completely before cutting.
- Divide into 16 squares.
