How to Prepare Moist and Decadent Sweet Potato Blondies [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Preheat the oven to 350°, lightly grease a 9x13-inch pan or use parchment paper.
Place the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt in a large bowl and mix well.
In a small bowl, combine the melted coconut butter and palm sugar and mix well. Add the mashed banana, almond butter, mashed sweet potato, and mix. Blend the hot water and Medjool dates in a food processor or blender and add to the wet ingredients along with the vanilla and cinnamon. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Slowly incorporate the wet to the dry and mix well until thoroughly combined.
Pour into the loaf pan. Top or mix in the cacao butter pieces for hints of white chocolate if you like. Bake 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a little bit of crumbs. Let it cool for 10 minutes.

Notes

*Boil the sweet potato or steam for 20 minutes and then mash. I did the latter and was very pleased with the quick results!
