Healthy Sweet Potato Bars With Oatmeal Whole Wheat Cookie Crust

You will not miss the sugar and fat i took out of this dessert bar. It would also work well with carrots or pumpkin. I like to cook the sweet potatoes in the microwave ahead of time for easy peeling later.

Steps

Put sweet potatoes in a microwave safe dish and add some water to the bottom.
Cover with saran wrap.
Microwave on high for about 7 minutes or until knife inserts easily.
Let cool.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Put dry ingredients in food processor and pulse until oatmeal is ground.
Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl with egg whites and oil.
Press into greased 13x9 pan.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Peel sweet potatoes and put in large bowl.
Add remaining ingredients and mix with a hand blender until smooth.
Pour over crust.
Bake for 45 minutes or until set.
Cool before cutting.
Store in refrigerator.
