Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup evaporated milk

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp ground ginger

1 pre-baked pie crust (homemade or store-bought, pressed into a rectangular baking dish)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to heat up while you prepare the filling.
Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, and evaporated milk. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add Eggs and Flavorings: Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Assemble: Pour the sweet potato mixture over the pre-baked pie crust in your baking dish. Use a spatula to spread the filling evenly.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch.
Cool and Slice: Let the pie cool completely in the baking dish. Once cooled, slice into bars for easy serving.

Notes

For a smoother filling, blend the sweet potato mixture in a food processor before baking.
These bars are perfect for meal prep or holiday gift-giving.
Experiment with different spices like allspice or cardamom for a unique flavor profile.
