Add 200 grams oats to a bowl.

Add 3 heaping teaspoons of peanut butter and 5 teaspoons of agave nectar to the mixture and stir.

If the dough is too dry, add more agave nectar or applesauce and mix again until the dough is shapeable.

Add 80 milliliters of water to the mixture to help it stick together.

Press a little more than half of the dough into a baking pan, making sure to press it down into the edges to create a dense base layer.

Take 1 sweet potato and microwave it or bake it in the oven for 30 minutes, then remove the peel and mash it until smooth, adding a little water if necessary.

Mix in some vanilla extract and cinnamon to the mashed sweet potato to taste.

Spread the mashed sweet potato evenly over the base layer in the baking pan.

Add tigernut flakes on top of the sweet potato layer and press them down.

Add the remaining dough on top of the sweet potato layer and press it down firmly.

Bake in the oven for around 20 to 30 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius or until the edges turn golden brown.

Once baked, cut into bars or pieces.
