Cook time: 40 mins
Total time: 1 hour 10 mins
Ingredients
  • Brownies:
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (500g)
  • 150g oat flour* (or 75g oat flour and 75g ground almonds)
  • 8g psyllium husks
  • 14 dates (or optionally 6 tbsp birch sugar or your preferred sweetener)
  • 280ml oat milk or coconut milk (for a bit of fat and creaminess)
  • 3 tbsp cacao powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Frosting:
  • ½ medium sweet potato (150g), cooked and peeled
  • ¼ cup (60g) cashews
  • 3-4 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1-2 tsp cacao powder
Instructions
  1. Brownies:
  2. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).
  3. Peel and steam the sweet potatoes until they are soft.
  4. Meanwhile, soak the psyllium husks in coconut milk.
  5. Once the sweet potatoes are soft, place them in a food processor with the pitted dates and the psyllium-coconut mixture. Blend on high until smooth.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the wet mixture with the dry ingredients (except for the baking powder) and stir until well combined.
  7. Add the baking powder and mix gently. Do not overmix.
  8. Pour the batter into a lined baking dish and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until a fork inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the brownies cool completely, then lift them out of the tray using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve with toppings like almond butter or sweet potato frosting.
  10. Frosting:
  11. Freeze the cooked and peeled sweet potato overnight.
  12. Soak the cashews overnight in water, then rinse.
  13. Blend all the frosting ingredients in a food processor.
  14. If needed, add a little water to help it blend smoothly, depending on your blender.
  15. If you don’t have a food processor, freeze the sweet potato for only about 3 hours instead of overnight.
Notes
*To make oat flour, simply blend oats until they reach a fine flour consistency.
