Sweet Potato Blondies

- Serves 18
Chewy, gluten free, vegan bars with Xylitol+, coconut and homemade soynut butter. Rich and slightly sweet on their own, but elevated with orange juice caramel syrup! Are they a replacement for your bowl of oatmeal or your broccoli and brown rice for dinner? Read more Probably not. But with more protein in a (good-sized, I might add) square than an egg, no cholesterol, way less sugar and more fibre than a commercial brownie or blondie and a ton of nutrients like Vitamin A, calcium, vitamin C and iron, they might be worth the occasional indulgence!
