Description
These chocolate sweet potato brownies contain coconut flour but not nuts so they could be great for kids school lunchboxes and parties unless you’re not allowed to bring coconut-based treats. Perfect as a treat for birthdays, Christmas, Thanksgiving or Easter, these brownies are paleo, gluten-free and dairy-free.
Ingredients
Scale
1 medium sweet potato – 2-3 cups when grated
2 whole eggs
1/2 cup melted coconut oil
1/3 cup raw honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup raw cacao powder, sifted
1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons coconut flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 185 °C (365 °F), making sure the oven is hot before you put the brownies in. Line a baking tray with lightly greased baking paper. I used a 9″/23cm square tin.
- Combine the grated sweet potato, eggs, vanilla, honey and coconut oil in a large mixing bowl and stir together until well incorporated. Then, add the cacao powder, baking powder and baking soda and combine. Stir in the coconut flour last.
- Once combined, pour the mixture into a baking tray and pop in the oven. Cook for 25-30 minutes.
- Remove the tin and cool for 5-10 minutes before carefully removing the brownie cake from the tin. Cut into squares and dust with a little extra cacao powder or melt some dark chocolate in a bowl over boiling water or in a microwave and drizzle it over the top.
- Serve with raspberries or strawberries and maybe some fresh cream or coconut yoghurt.
