Sweet Potato Brownies!
Sweet potato combined in this dessert reduces sugar, but not the taste! This dessert is a real winner: it helps with chocolate craving, a dessert craving but without the sugar! And it’s nutrient dense. I use Cacao powder that is a superfood full of magnesium, iron, potassium, protein, yes I said protein! and fiber that helps digestion. You can use carob powder or cocoa powder as a replacement if you don’t have cacao powder. Please do look into getting this superfood.
Both Cacao and sweet potato are anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidants (think anti-aging, anti-disease forming by combating free radicals!).
I want to hear from you – did you enjoy this recipe! I just created it for my birthday at the start of this month. It was a big hit! I was going to add snow ice cream but there wasn’t fresh snow so I created frozen banana ice cream to go with the brownies.
ENJOY!
