Chocolate Brownies with Almonds & Sweet Potato - vegan
Ingredients
- 600 g sweet potatoes steamed until soft
- 100 g ground almonds
- 100 g wholemeal spelt flour
- 250 g dates soaking in boiled water for 20-30mins
- 4 tbsp dark cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp xylitol
- 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 50 g dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- You will need a 20x30cm brownie baking tin for this recipe. You will also need to ensure the sweet potato has been pre-steamed until soft and the dates have been soaked.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
- Add all of the ingredients (excluding the chocolate chunks!) to the food processor and blitz until smooth. Now stir through the chocolate chunks.
- Spoon the mixture in to the brownie tin and spread out until even.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25mins. Check that it is cooked through by placing a skewer into the centre of the brownie and seeing that it comes out clean. If not, return to the oven for another few minutes and test again.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing into 8 brownies. Remove each brownie from the tin and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack before eating.
Notes
I think these brownies taste better when they have had chance to sit in the fridge for a while to completely cool.
