Ingredients

  • cup sweet potato cooked
  • 1 very ripe banana
  • 3-6 dates pitted
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 5 tbsp neutral vegetable oil I used sunflower oil
  • cup all-purpose flour use gluten-free if necessary
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C.
  • Using a food processor, shredded pitted dates until a ball forms. Mash sweet potatoes and banana.
  • In a small bowl, mix flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
  • Using an electric hand mixer or your hands, mix sweet potatoes, vanilla extract, banana and dates. Gently incorporate the flour mixture.
  • Slowly pour the oil into your dough while mixing. Stop once your batter comes fully together.
  • Transfer into a baking loaf and bake for 35 minutes (or until a wooden stick comes out clean)
  • Once done, gently move from the baking loaf and place on an oven rack to cool.
  • This pie keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days, though it's best enjoyed fresh (while still warm). Can be frozen cut in serving-size pieces in airtight containers for up to two months.
