INGREDIENTS:

About 2 cups cut up sweet potato - you want 1 1/2 cups when blended.

1/2 cup almond butter

1/2 cup maple syrup

3 tbsp MCT oil (or melted coconut oil)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup cacao powder

1/2 cup coconut flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 pinches of salt

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Spray a brownie pan with coconut oil spray (if using solid coconut oil, spread about a tablespoon around the pan)

Peel your sweet potatoes. We made these with raw potatoes, blended into puree. (If you don’t have a high speed blender, try boiling them and mashing them instead). Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender and pour mixture into the coated pan.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until done.

Enjoy!
