Ingredients
- 1 Cup Almond Meal
- 1/2 Cup Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 1/2 Cups Sweet Potato (peeled, cubed, steamed)
- 6 Date Rolls
- 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup (if following Whole30, skip this and add another date!)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 handfuls of Walnut Pieces
- Optional Coconut Whip topping*
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350.
In a mixing bowl, combine first 3 ingredients.
Then, in a food processor, blintz steamed sweet potatoes, dates, vanilla and maple syrup scraping the sides down when needed. I added a little bit of water, about 2 Tablespoons, to get it completely smooth.
Using a rubber spatula, scrape all the "batter" out of the food processor and into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix well and add in 1 handful of walnuts.
Scoop the batter into a lined square baking tray. I wet my hands and patted down the big brownie batter ball until it covered the whole baking tray ;) Sprinkle the other handful of walnuts on top and lightly press.
Bake for 20 minutes, let cool for at least 10 minutes, cut and enjoy!
*To make the coconut whip, simply refrigerate a can of coconut milk upside down over night. In the morning, scoop out the solid coconut cream and wait for it to soften. Then whip with a whisk. At this point, you could add powdered sugar and vanilla, or you can just leave it naked as I do.
