Dark Chocolate Sweet Potato Brownies

Dark Chocolate Sweet Potato Brownies

Posted 2014-06-22 by Jac's Vegheadfollow
These brownies are dark but far from devilish. Filled with sweet potato, cocoa, olive oil and eggs these brownies are protein filled and paleo. I personally don't buy into the paleo craze but love sweet potato and chocolate so these are a win!

For the dark chocolate lover.


Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 40 minutes
Makes: 18 servings

Ingredients
1 medium sweet potato (2.5 C grated)
1/2 C olive oil
1/2 C honey
1 C cocoa
2 eggs
1/2 TSP cinnamon
1/2 TSP baking soda
1 TSP baking powder
2 TBSP wholemeal OR coconut flour (for gluten free)
1 TBSP vanilla essence

Nutritious ingredients.


Method

  • Peel and grate the sweet potato.

  • Good arm workout


  • Combine the sweet potato in a bowl with the eggs, honey, oil and vanilla essence.



  • Next stir in the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and cocoa. Combine well.

  • This may look delicious but please refrain from licking to bowl Raw sweet potato is not so sweet.


  • Lastly stir in the flour.

  • Pour mixture into a well greased baking tray and smooth out.



  • Bake at 185° for 40 mins, check after 30 mins.



  • Remove and allow to cool before cutting into squares.



  • NOTE: These are very dark brownies and quite bitter, those inclined to sweeter chocolate should use 1/4 C of cocoa and 3/4 C sweetened hot chocolate powder. For me the bitterness is perfect and i'm satisfied after one, for those that love 85% chocolate.
