INGREDIENTS½ cup Navitas Organics Cacao Powder ½ cup whole wheat flour or 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend 1 tsp. baking powder ½ tsp. sea salt ¼ cup coconut oil ½ cup sweet potato puree* ¾ cup coconut sugar ¼ cup maple syrup 1 tsp. vanilla extract |
DIRECTIONSHeat oven to 325° F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment, leaving a two-inch overhang on all sides, and set aside. In a medium bowl, add the cacao powder, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix together to combine. In a medium saucepot over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Turn off the heat, then add the sweet potato puree, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. A little at a time, add the dry ingredients and mix into a smooth batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out into an even layer. Bake until the center is set, about 30-35 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool completely. Using the parchment overhang, remove the brownies from the pan and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 16 squares. Variation: Fold ¾ cup mini chocolate chips or 3 Tbsp. Navitas Organics Cacao Nibs and/or coarsely chopped walnuts or Navitas Organics Cashew Nuts into the batter before baking. *Chef’s Notes: For a fast turnaround, use canned sweet potato puree. Alternately, bake a foil-wrapped sweet potato at 400° F for 90 minutes. Turn off the oven and let cool inside for an additional hour. Peel and mash the potato into a smooth puree, adding a tablespoon or two of water, if needed. Store at room temperature, covered, for up to 5 days. Makes 16 brownies
