Sweet Potato Brownies
Who doesn’t love a fudgy brownie at the close of a meal? This one uses sweet potato puree to create that soft texture.
Ingredients
- 300g sweet potato purée
- 200g dark chocolate
- 150ml olive oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 200g brown sugar
- 50g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 50g rice flour
- 100g almond powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Melt the olive oil and chocolate in a “bain marie” (ie by placing the oil and chocolate squares in a glass or stainless steel bowl, resting on top of a pot with 2″ of water that will boil underneath it).
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs, vanilla and sugar together.
- In a third mixing bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients.
- Firstly, add your sweet potato purée to the melted chocolate mixture and stir to obtain a homogenous texture.
- Secondly, add the dry ingredient mixture to the chocolate mixture.
- Thirdly, add the creamed sugar and fat mixture to the chocolate mixture.
- Pour into a cake pan or moulds and bake 20-35 minutes, depending on the size of your products.
- Allow to cool completely before attempting to remove from the pan. (These brownies are VERY crumbly when just out of the oven, but they solidify nicely on cooling.)
