Super Fudgy, Flourless, Dark Chocolate Sweet Potato Brownies

Makes 9 tiny but mighty, decadent, rich, deliciously indulgent, seriously chocolaty, super fudgey, secretly healthy, chocolate brownies.

Ingredients –

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potato – I used 1 medium – keto friends feel free to sub 1/2 sweet potato/1/2  avocado
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup cacao
  • 1 Tablespoon of vanilla extract
  • 3-4 Tablespoons of monk fruit sweetener (sub 1/4-1/2 cup of coconut sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon of instant espresso – optional this really helps enhance the richness of the chocolate
  • 2 Tablespoons of filtered water
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2-4 Tablespoons of your fave dark chocolate chopped – optional (but not really)
  • 2 teaspoons of maca – for hormone balance

    Method

1 – Pre-heat oven to 175’C/350’F

2 – Grease a small square baking dish  with coconut oil/ghee or baking/parchment paper and set aside.

3 – Place all ingredients apart from chocolate , if using,  into your food processor or blender and process until smooth, creamy & well combined. If your batter is a little thick, add a splash or two of almond milk (or milk of choice) 1 Tbsp at a time to reach a smoother consistency.

4 – Pour into your prepared baking dish  and bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are set and a toothpick has just a few moist crumbs attached when inserted into the centre.

DO NOT OVER BAKE!!!

5 –  Cool – slice – devour!

For best results allow to cool completely before serving. I prefer mine chilled.
