Sweet potato brownies are delicious and so easy to make. I didn't even need a food processor or a pan! I don't have a reason not to use those things, but this way, other than a mixing bowl and a fork, there was nothing to clean! There is 1 tablespoon of maple syrup for added sweetness but you can use more or none. It's still going to be good!
I baked it in our toaster oven.
1 large sweet potato
1 ripe banana
4 rounded TBS cocoa powder
4 TBS unsweetened quick oats
4 TBS unsweetened coconut flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 TBS maple syrup
1 TBS vanilla almond milk
Makes 4 servings
Wash the sweet potato and wrap it in a moist paper towel. Microwave for 6 minutes. Let it cool for 10 minutes. While its cooling, mash the other ingredients together in a mixing bowl. When cool enough to handle, peel and add the sweet potato. Mash everything together until it's thoroughly blended. Let it sit for 15 minutes to thicken.
Place it on parchment paper and shape it into a square about 1 inch thick. Bake it at 400F for 35 to 40 minutes. Let it cool enough to handle and wrap it in plastic wrap to hold in the moisture, giving it a glossy finish. Refrigerate for an hour.
Cut it into 4 squares and serve.
