Ingredients

Wet ingredients

  • 800 gr sweet potato
  • 100 gr olive oil
  • 12 dates
  • 50 ml plant-based milk

Dry ingredients

  • 140 gr rice flour (or wheat flour if not gluten-free)
  • 80 gr almond flour (or oat flour i.e. grounded oats)
  • 80 gr finely chopped hazelnust
  • 80 gr cocoa powder
  • 1 pinch salt

Topping

  • hazelnut butter
  • plant-based milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven at 180ÂșC. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

  2. Peel and chop the sweet potato into cubes. Boil until soft.

  3. Blend all wet ingredients in a food processor.

  4. Add the dry ingredients (except the chopped hazelnuts). Blend until you get a smooth texture. The texture will be slightly thicker than a regular brownie.

  5. Pour in a bowl and add the chopped hazelnuts (save a handful for serving). Add the batter to the pre-lined baking tray. Bake for 45 mins.

  6. Let it cool down before removing from the tray. To serve, mix the hazelnut butter + plant-based milk until you get a runny silky consistency. Drizzle over the brownie and sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts that you saved.
