Insanely chocolate sweet potato brownies

Don't let the name fool you.. These brownies are all about the chocolate taste and less(none) of the sweet potato taste.. Yes you've read it right there is 1/2 cup cocoa but because these are so rich tasting you can cut them into bite sizes and should be enough to satisfy the sweet tooth :-) ( I did say 'should' )

Ingredients

• 1 cup mashed sweet potato
• 3 eggs beaten
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
• 
  
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup ground almonds
• 1/4 tsp Himalayan rock salt
• 1/4 tsp gluten free baking powder
• 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips(optional)

Flaked almonds and carob chips for sprinkling. 

Method

Preheat the oven to 180deg C.

Grease / Line a 9inch square baking tray.

In a medium bowl combine the wet ingredients.

In a medium bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.( except the chocolate chips)

Mix the dry ingredients gradually into the wet ingredients stirring continuously until everything is combined . 

Mix in the chocolate chips until combined.

Pour the mixture onto the baking tray's and flatten out.

Sprinkle flaked almonds and carob chips on the top. 

Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the edges start to come away and a tooth pick inserted into the centre of the baking tin comes away dry. 

Cut up and eat :-) 

You can store these in the fridge in an airtight container also ( IF they make it that far )
