Instructions
 

Brownie Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350*F/ 175*C.
  • Make the flax egg by combining 2 tablespoon of ground flaxseed & 4 tablespoon of water. Set it aside.
  • Next, prepare your sweet potatoes. Peel the potatoes & chop them into cubes.
  • Place them in a pot of boiling water & boil for 20-30 minutes, until they are soft enough to easily stick a fork into.
  • Mash the potatoes with a fork & measure out 1 cup.
  • Add the sweet potato to a food processor.
  • Add the hazelnuts, melted chocolate, maple syrup, sugar, flour, cacao, flax eggs, baking powder, vanilla & salt.
  • Mix everything well in the food processor until you have a thick batter.
  • Grease your pan & add the brownie batter.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes.

Chocolate Glaze Directions

  • While the brownies are baking, create your chocolate glaze.
  • Open a can of coconut milk (make sure it has been refrigerated overnight!) and take out the white solid part at the top.
  • Measure out ⅓ cup & add to a large bowl.
  • Next melt ⅓ cup of chocolate and also add it to the bowl.
  • Use a hand mixer to combine the ingredients until you have a thick, but liquid consistency.
  • Once the brownies are out of the oven, pour the glaze on top & add more hazelnuts.
  • Allow for the brownies to cool and the glaze layer to solidify.
  • Cut the brownies into slices and enjoy!
