What are we cooking today?
These super moist and rich sweet potato brownies taste delicious and make for a perfect healthy treat.
You can use orange or white sweet potato for this brownie recipe.
Getting started
- Preheat oven to 180C.
Line a 20cm square cake tin with baking powder.
Steam the sweet potato until very soft.
Place the sweet potato, almond meal, flour, cinnamon, dates, cacao powder, maple syrup and salt in a food processor and process until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the mixture into the lined cake tin and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes.
Remove from the tin and cut into even squares.
Dust with a little extra cocao powder and serve alone or with fresh berries.
Annabelle's tip
If you don’t get through the whole batch at once (or you would rather not), you can slice the brownies and freeze them as individual portions for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge or on the counter and feel free to pop them in a hot oven for 5 minutes.
