It’s getting sweet, it’s getting chocolaty but at the same time, it’s staying healthy! Finally, after 3 tries, I’m bringing you my glutenfree Psyllium Husk- Sweet Potato Brownies!
You will find many version of sweet potato brownies on the internet some of them even by me. But recently I discovered the magic skills of psyllium husks so I needed to create another one. I’m truly happy with the result and I am sure I am going to stick with these for an unknown time :).
These brownies are everything.
Healthy, gluten-free, refined sugarfree, fat-free, fluffy and super easy to make! And not to forget, they are delicious as well ;). I promise you can´t fail this recipe! If so please leave me a comment and put the blame on me :)!
Glutenfree Fact:
Since I heard some rumors about oats containing gluten.
Here is the truth.
Oats are gluten-free. They are ok for most people with gluten-intolerance. There is just a minority of gluten-intolerant people who might get some trouble after they consume oats.
In case you are one of them, you are dealing with CONTAMINATION. Most of the commercial oat grows next to e.g. a wheat field or other non-glutenfree grains e.g. barley and rye and is processed in facilities that process wheat or other non-glutenfree grains e.g. barley and rye. So it happens that some of the gluten is accidentally mixed with the oats.
But gluten-free oats are easy to get and in comparison they still are the least expensive gluten-free grains on the market. So in case you are feeling discomfort after eating oats you might go for the safe way.
