The Ingredients
1 cooked and peeled sweet potato
2 eggs
¼ cup nut butter of choice (we used tahini, but you could do almond, cashew, peanut, whatever you prefer)
2 tbsp olive oil
½ cup cacao powder
½ cup coconut sugar
½ tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
Splash of vanilla extract
Optional: chocolate chips
How to make them:
Roast your sweet potato at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes to an hour, or until it’s soft and starts to get syrupy
Remove sweet potato from the oven, let cool enough to touch, then peel (the peel should come off easily and cleanly — this is another way to know your sweet potato is ready)
Mash the sweet potato, then add eggs, nut butter, vanilla, and olive oil and stir until well combined
Add the coconut sugar, cacao, salt, and baking soda and mix until well combined. If you’re adding chocolate chips, mix them in now. The batter will be thick.
Add to a greased or parchment lined baking dish
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes
Enjoy! They’re delicious warm right out of the oven with a mug of raspberry leaf or ginger tea.
