- In a food processor, combine mashed sweet potato, eggs, coconut oil and vanilla. Blend until smooth.
- Add in remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
- Scoop batter into a lined 8″ x 8″ glass pan. Using a spatula, spread the batter to the sides making an even, level surface.

Notes
*I recommend Japanese sweet potatoes, but any variety will work. For the mashed sweet potato: first wash and chop sweet potato. Then steam in a steamer pot until tender. Let the potato cool to room temperature, then make the batter.
