Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: AIP
Serves: 5-6
RecipeIngredients
- 1 cup mashed sweet potato (boiled and mashed)
- 1 cup shredded coconut (for coconut free and non AIP version, use any chopped nuts)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ¼ cup + 2 tbsp cassava flour
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup + 2 tbsp carob or cocoa powder (use carob for AIP)
- 1½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted or olive oil
- ¼ cup warm water
For chocolate frosting:
- ¼ cup carob or cocoa powder (use carob for AIP)
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- pinch salt
- 1 tbsp raw honey
RecipeInstructions
- Pre-heat oven to 325 F. Line a square brownie pan with parchment paper.
- Add the mashed sweet potato and the shredded coconut to a blender and blend for 1 minute until the coconut shreds are very tiny. Then add all the rest of the ingredients and blend again for a minute or so until well blended. The batter will be quite thick which is ok.
- Dump the batter onto the brownie pan and spread using a spatula evenly. Place in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center turns out clean. The brownie might look too soft but that is ok as it will harden upon cooling. Take the pan out of the oven and let cool for 15 mins before frosting.
To make frosting:
- Add all the ingredients for frosting in a small sauce pan and heat on low heat for 4-5 mins stirring frequently until you get a runny chocolate sauce. Turn heat off and pour this sauce on top of the brownies. Spread evenly using a spatula and place the pan in the refrigerator for 1 hour for the frosting to set.
- After the frosting has set, cut the brownies into 16 one inch squares and serve. You can keep the brownies at room temperature (below 70 F) for a couple days or store in the refrigerator if you are storing for longer time.
