Yes you read the title correctly! These brownie are the perfect little snack to kill a sweet tooth or craving without doing too much damage to your figure 🙂
Here’s What You Need:
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 coconut oil (melted)
- 1/3 cup raw honey (could also use agave or sugar-free maple syrup)
- 3 TBSP coconut flour
- 2 TBSP unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 Tsp baking powder
- 1/4 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 Tsp Cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- Optional: semi-sweet dark chocolate chips
Here’s What You Do:
- Bake the sweet potato by using one of two options: preheat the oven to 425 degrees, use a fork to puncture holes all around it and pop it in the oven for 25-30 minutes. You could also use the microwave by placing it in a microwavable glass dish for about 4-5 minutes each side.
- Once the sweet potato is soft and cooked all the way through, peel of the skin and mash it up in a bowl. Then if you used the oven to bake the potato, turn the oven down to 350 degrees.
- Next add your wet ingredients: coconut oil, honey, vanilla, and whisked eggs to the bowl and mix it all together.
- Then you will add your dry ingredients: coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt (if you are adding chocolate chips also add them in this step)
- Mix it all together to make sure the sweet potato really get’s mixed up with all the other goodness. (use a food processor if you like also)
- Pour into an 8 x 8 glass backing dish
- Bake for 30-35 minutes and then remove from oven to let it cool down for a bit.
- ENJOY & try not to eat the whole tray!
TIP: Once they are cool you can store them in the fridge, or baggy up the individual portions and store them in the freezer 🙂
