Preheat oven to 180 C (355 F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.

In a large bowl, mash banana, sweet potato and softened butter together until well mashed and combined.

Whisk the egg in a small bowl or cup to break up the yolk, then add it to the mixing bowl and mix it through.

Add flour and mix until well combined.

Bake for 14-15 minutes, until firm.

Makes about 20.
