Paleo Sweet Potato Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 medium sweet potato (2-3 cups when grated)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup coconut oil (melted)
• 1/3 cup honey
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup raw cacao powder (sifted)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder (gluten-free)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 tablespoons coconut flour

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 185° C (365° F), making sure the oven is hot before you put the brownies in. Line a baking tray with lightly greased baking paper. I used a 9 x 23-cm square tin.

2. 2

   Combine the grated sweet potato, eggs, vanilla, honey and coconut oil in a large mixing bowl and stir together until well incorporated. Then, add the cacao powder, baking powder and baking soda and combine. Stir in the coconut flour last.

3. 3

   Once combined, pour the mixture into a baking tray and pop in the oven. Cook for 25-30 minutes.

4. 4

   Remove the tin and cool for 5-10 minutes before carefully removing the brownie cake from the tin. Cut into squares and dust with a little extra cacao powder or melt some dark chocolate in a bowl over boiling water or in a microwave and drizzle it over the top.

5. 5

   Serve with raspberries or strawberries and maybe some fresh cream or coconut yoghurt.
