Ingredients
Brownies
- 2 cups Cooked Sweet Potato about 2 medium sweet potatoes
- ⅓ cup Chocolate Protein Powder
- 4 tbsp Cacao Powder
- ½ cup Oat Flour
- ⅓ cup Almond Butter
- ⅓ cup Plant Milk
- 2 Flax Eggs
- 3 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
Chocolate Sauce
- 3 tbsp Cacao Powder
- 1½ tbsp Plant Milk
- 1½ tbsp Maple Syrup
Toppings
- 2 tbsp Coconut Flakes
Instructions
- Prepare your flax eggs by mixing 2 tbsp of flax and 5 tbsp of water in a bowl. Let sit for 5-10 minutes. Set your oven to 350f.
- Cook your sweet potato in the microwave or in the oven. For the microwave, stab about 15-20 holes in your sweet potato with a fork then microwave one sweet potato at a time for 6 minutes, flipping halfway through. Stab it with a fork to ensure it is cooked completely.
- Or bake at 400f for 50-60 minutes.
- Peel the potatoes and add in 2 cups worth into a high speed blender or food processor.
- Add in the rest of the ingredients and blend until most of the sweet potato chunks have been pulverized. The batter will be quite thick so scrape down the sides as needed. It will not blend completely smooth just blend until the sweet potato pieces are mostly pulverized.
- Add to an 8x8 greased or lined baking dish and bake at 350f for 35-40 minutes.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing or they will crumble apart. The brownies will continue to cook and harden in the pan as they cool.
- Make the chocolate sauce by whisking together cacao powder, plant milk and maple syrup until smooth.
- Once the brownies have cooled completely drizzle on the chocolate sauce and top with some coconut shreds.
