A quick and easy recipe, with natural and unprocessed ingredients for a really stunning result 🙂
Sweet potatoes can be cooked in many ways. This recipe takes advantage of the special texture of its flesh to create a magnificently soft chocolate brownie.
Here the sweet potato plays the role of a substitute. It replaces the flour, sugar and eggs that we usually find in a brownie. None of that is found in this recipe, which also makes this gluten-free.
Despite the fact that it contains only healthy ingredients and a little amount of sugar, you will have to remain prudent about the quantity because this brownie is quite rich. It’s still a dessert after all!
