These chocolate sweet potato brownies contain coconut flour but not nuts so they could be great for kids’ school lunchboxes and parties. Perfect as a treat for birthdays, Christmas, Thanksgiving or Easter, these brownies are paleo, gluten-free and dairy-free.

Ingredients 

  • 1 medium sweet potato 2-3 cups when grated
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup raw cacao powder sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder gluten-free
  • 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 x 23-cm 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.
