Brownie Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet potato 230 grams
- 1 cup hazelnuts 130 grams
- ½ cup melted chocolate
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup flour
- ¼ cup cacao powder
- 2 flax eggs 2 tablespoon ground flax + 4 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- dash of salt
Chocolate Glaze Ingredients
- ⅓ cup coconut cream from a can
- ⅓ cup melted chocolate
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!
