Cooking Instructions

Pierce the Sweet Potato (1) all over with a fork and put it on a microwave-safe plate. Cook in a microwave oven for 5 minutes or until tender. Let it cool enough to handle, then cut it in half and scoop out 1/2 cup of filling from the skin.

Into a food processor, add the sweet potato, Pitted Dates (12) , Walnuts (1 cup) , Slivered Almonds (1 cup) , Pepitas (4 Tbsp) , Unsweetened Shredded Coconut (4 Tbsp) , Ground Flaxseed (1 tsp) , Simply Organic Cinnamon, Ground (1 tsp) , Ground Nutmeg (as needed) , and Vanilla Extract (as needed) . Pulse it together until you have a mixture that is fine but still has some texture.

Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment, leaving a little hanging over the edge. Press the mixture firmly into the pan so that it sticks together well.

Refrigerate the tray for at least 3 hours or up to overnight.

Lift the firmed up mixture out of the tray and cut it into 9 squares by making two equal cuts both horizontally and vertically. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for a few days. Enjoy!
