Gluten-Free Sweet Potato and Walnut Squares to satisfy that craving for something sweet and healthy. A delicious and nutritious snack for anytime of the day. Add some ice cream or whipped cream and you will have a delicious dessert

Sweet potatoes are one of those vegetables that we can add to just about anything. The health benefits are astonishing, and they add sweetness to desserts. Another one of my favourite sweet potato recipes is the Simply Roasted Sweet Potatoes, it is also one of our most downloaded recipes. Enjoy!
