Servings: 3
Equipment
- Vitamix (or high speed blender)
- 8x12 Baking dish
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sweet potato peeled, steamed, and mashed
- 1 cup oat flour Blend rolled oats yourself to make this flour!
- 1/2 cup NutZo (Other nut butters can be substituted as well)
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup cacao We love Navitas Organic Cacao with Goji & Acai
- 1 tsp vanilla (optional)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 1/8 tsp salt (optional)
- 3/4 cup plant milk we used rice milk but any would be great
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional) For more of a desert time dish
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C).
- Peel, dice, and steam sweet potatoes for 10-12 minutes on medium high heat until you can easily poke with fork without sweet potato turning to mush (too mushy is no fun).
- Add rolled oats to Vitamix and blend, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to high speed, until oats become a flour. Place flour in separate medium sized bowl.
- To the flour, mix in the baking powder and cacao powder.
- Place sweet potatoes in blender, along with Nutzo, maple syrup, and cinnamon and vanilla, if using. Blend on a medium speed until completely mixed and no sweet potato clumps remain.
- Combine the sweet potato mixture with the flour mixture, and slowly add in plant milk as you stir to create your brownie batter.
- Lightly grease an 8x12 baking dish with coconut oil, then put batter in dish and place in oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out cleanly when poked in brownie. Enjoy with fresh berries and plant milk for a great start to your day!
