Paleo Sweet Potato Brownies

Ingredients:

– 3 Sweet potatoes

– Nut Butter

– Paleo Flour

– Cocoa Powder

– Erythritol sugar

– Vanilla extract

– Baking powder

– Maple Syrup

– Optional: pistachios, cashews, chocolate chips etc

Method:

1. Peel and cut up your sweet potatoes. Place in boiling water and leave boiling until they are soft and you can easily stick a fork through them.

2. Drain your sweet potatoes, place in a medium sized bowl and mash them up so they are puréed.

3. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius

4. On a low heat, heat up 3 large tablespoons of your nut butter of choice (I used Almond Butter for this batch but Cashew also tastes great) until the nut butter is super runny (add a tiny bit of water and keep stirring so it doesn’t burn over the heat). Once done, add into your bowl of mashed sweet potato and mix together.

5. Add half a teaspoon of Maple Syrup and a teaspoon of Vanilla Extract to your bowl and mix everything together.

6. In another medium sized bowl, add half a cup of Cocoa Powder, half a cup of Almond or Coconut Flour (I used both as I was finishing them up) a teaspoon of Baking Powder and half a cup of Erythritol Sugar and mix all dry ingredients until they are well combined and there are no clumps.

7. Slowly pour your dry ingredients into your wet, mixing well repeating the process until your dry ingredients are all mixed in and everything is well combined. You can also add a really tiny bit of almond milk just to moist the batter up a little bit.

8. Optional Step: Add optional nuts or chocolate chips into the batter.

9. Line a baking tray, pour your mix into your tray and bake in the oven at 200 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

10. Remove from oven and allow to cool before cutting into squares. ENJOY! 🙂
