2½ cups rolled oats or quick oats not instant
¼ cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
1½ teaspoons baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup mashed ripe banana

1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine oats, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir together. Set aside.
In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, combine mashed banana, mashed sweet potato, egg, and vanilla. Use a potato masher or wooden spoon to combine until mixture is smooth and well mixed.
Pour wet banana/sweet potato mixture into the bowl with the dry oat mixture. Stir to combine. Add raisins and mix them in.
Spread mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes or until slightly golden brown on top and edges look dry.
