Rich Vegan Sweet Potato Brownies
Ingredients
  • 2 sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1 ⁄4 cup coconut oil plus extra for greasing
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
  • 3 ⁄4 cup sugar of choice
  • A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
  1. Peel sweet potato and cut into slices 3⁄4-inch thick. Place a steel steamer basket on top of saucepan of boiling water, and add potato into basket. Cover with lid and steam for 20 minutes, or until sweet potato is soft. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease an 8 x 8–inch square baking pan with coconut oil, then line bottom of pan with parchment paper.
  3. Into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, add coconut oil and vegan chocolate, stirring occasionally until chocolate is melted. Transfer to a food processor with sweet potato, flour, sugar, and salt. Process until fully combined, then transfer mixture to prepared baking pan, spreading evenly.
  4. Bake in oven for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into center. Remove from oven and run a knife around edges of brownie to make sure it doesn’t stick to sides. Leave brownie to cool slightly in pan, then remove from pan and cut into 9 squares to serve. Serve warm.
