Grain-less Brownies (made with sweet potato!)

 

Grain-free, gluten-free and refined sugar-free

This recipe is amazing, it is an angel in disguise. The sweet potato is a great flour replacement for that soft moist texture and its natural sweetness means less sugar is required. And you know its good when your brother has 3 pieces in one go!

Ingredients:

    1 medium white sweet potato, peeled and grated (using the larger holes of the grater)

    2 whole eggs
    1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder     
    2 tbsp coconut flour
    1/2 cup of melted raw honey   
    1/2 cup of melted coconut oil
    1 heaped tbsp of gluten free baking powder
    ½ tbsp of baking soda
    2 tsp vanilla extract
   
    200g stevia-sweetened chocolate
    1/2 cup almond milk

Instructions:

   -          Preheat oven to 185 °C

-          Combine grated sweet potato, eggs, vanilla extract, honey and coconut oil until well mixed. Stir in baking powder and baking soda.  Mix in cocoa powder and coconut flour.

-          Pour the mixture into a baking tray greased with coconut oil. It should be about 1 inch thick.

-          Cook for 25 minutes or until cooked.

-          Leave for 5-10 minutes before removing the brownie cake from the tin.

-          Cut into squares once cooled

-          Leave the brownie cake to cool down before cutting.

-          Melt 200 grams of stevia- sweetened chocolate with almond milk and layer on brownies (the chocolates I used had nuts in them)

Enjoy the slices of heaven :)
