Sweet Potato Brownies

IMG_6713Now that I’ve already professed my love for sweet potatoes with that amazing sweet potato pancake recipe, this one is basically a bonus if you have some extra sweet potato purée leftover.

It’s also a good way to sneak more good, complex carbs in your diet without overdoing it. Flexible dieting, anyone?

Ingredients:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup sweet potato purée
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup cinnamon baking chips (or chocolate – I just happened to have Eileen’s brand cinnamon chips on hand)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 deg F. Generously spray an 8×8 baking pan with coconut oil spray. This also works if you have a 10 inch cast iron skillet.
  2. Mix wet ingredients together until smooth. Add dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
  3. Pour batter into baking dish and smooth with a spatula. Spread batter out evenly.
  4. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Let cool and slice into squares.
  5. Enjoy!

Yields 12 brownies.
