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!
- 1 sweet potato large (approx. 125g when cooked)
- 80 g dark chocolate 80%
- 30 g coconut oil
- 1 tbsp maple syrup 15g
- 50 g almond flour
- 1/2 handful walnuts/hazelnuts/almonds optional - 10g
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- Cook the sweet potato.
- Melt the chocolate with the coconut oil. Stir while the chocolate melts.
- Blend all ingredients except the nuts until smooth. If the sweet potato is cooked through, it is perfectly fine to mash it with a fork.
- Add the nuts and mix again.
- Pour the batter into an ovenproof pan and bake for 30 min at 180°C.
- Let cool before serving and enjoy!
