Sweet Potato Brownies

Ingredients

• 2 medium sweet potatoes (cooked (see notes))
• 2 small bananas ((see notes))
• 1/2 cup plant-based milk
• 1 1/2 cup ground oats ((see notes))
• 2/3 cup sugar of choice ((see notes))
• 8 tbsp cocoa powder ((I used Dutch-Process))
• 5 tbsp ground hemp seeds (or any ground nuts/seeds (see notes))
• 1 tbsp cinnamon ((optional))
• 2 tsp baking powder

Instructions

1. 1

   You can watch the short video for visual instructions.Check the recipe notes below on how to cook the sweet potatoes.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) and line a pan with parchment paper. My pan measures 9" x 6" (23 cm x 15 cm) but the recipe makes a lot of batter, so you can use a larger pan (like 8x8).

3. 3

   Process all wet ingredients in a large food processor, then add the dry ingredients and mix until you have a smooth batter (the dough will be quite sticky, but this is normal!).

4. 4

   Transfer the batter to the lined pan. Bake in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick (inserted in the center) comes out almost clean (it can still be crumbly, but shouldn't be wet). Depending on the size/height of your pan, it might be ready some minutes earlier or later. If using a larger pan, check the brownies after 25-30 minutes.

5. 5

   Let cool for at least 20-30 minutes and cut into bars. Top these fudgy brownies with a vegan chocolate sauce. You can find the exact recipe here PS: The brownies are even better on day 2!
