2 cups gluten-free oat flour*

1/2 cup sweet potato puree**

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup maple syrup (or liquid sweetener of choice)

1/2 cup yogurt, (I used vanilla flavored soy yogurt)

1/2 cup chocolate chips

(For the oat flour I simply used whole oats and ground them into a flour using a coffee bean grinder)

(I used a sweet potato, peeled it and steamed it until mashable)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. using coconut oil grease a loaf pan, or line with parchment paper. 

In a bowl combine dry ingredients, in a separate bowl whisk liquid ingredients then pour wet into dry ingredients, stir to form a batter. Pour into the pan evenly. 

Bake for 40 minutes, when done turn the heat off, and without opening the oven door keep inside to cool down for another ten minutes. Let cool completely, then serve.
