Sweet Potato Brownies
300g Cooked, cooled mashed sweet potato
100ml water
30g chia seeds
110g liquid coconut oil
40g cacao powder
75g coconut flour
150g coconut sugar
50g walnuts
10ml vanilla extract
Add the chia seeds to the water stir well and allow to sit for a few minutes to make a gel. Process the sweet potato until it is completely smooth and no lumps remain.
If your coconut oil is solid sit the jar in hot water until it becomes a liquid then add to the smooth sweet potato along with the chia gel, cacao powder, coconut flour, coconut sugar and vanilla extract. Process again until well mixed.
Add the walnuts and pulse until just mixed in but not chopped up too much.
Spread the mixture into a brownie tin lined with silicone paper and bake at 170C for 50-60 mins.
Cool in tin for a few minutes before carefully turning out onto a cooling rack and allow to cool before icing.
