Ingredients

3 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes about 3 large sweet potatoes
2 bananas medium
1/2 cup almond milk unsweetened
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon allspice
1/4 cup apple juice optional
1 teaspoon cinnamon optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Put bananas on baking sheet covered in parchment paper.
Put bananas in oven on middle rack. Cook bananas for 6 minutes and then flip them over. Cook the other side for another 6 minutes.
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.
To the sweet potato and banana mixture, add the almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, allspice, apple juice (optional), and cinnamon (optional). Beat until fluffy.
Pour the mixture into a greased 8x8 square dish. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown on top.

Notes

Don't over mix the sweet potatoes or they may get gummy.
Use bananas that are ripe, but not overly ripe.
Let the mashed sweet potatoes cool down completely before storing in an airtight container and refrigerate up to 4 days.
