Remove bananas from oven and set aside to let them cool.
Add mashed sweet potatoes to the bowl of a stand mixer. Peel bananas and add them in. Blend until smooth. If you have any banana lumps you can smash them with the back of a spoon.

Pour the mixture into a greased 8x8 square dish. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown on top.
