Makes 10 brownies

Ingredients

• 2 medium to large sweet potatoes (600g)
• 2/3 of a cup of ground almonds (80g)
• 1/2 a cup of buckwheat or brown rice flour (100g)
• 14 medjool dates
• 4 tablespoons of raw cacao
• 3 tablespoons of pure maple syrup
• a pinch of salt

Method

1. Start by pre-heating the oven to 180C, then peel the sweet potatoes.
2. Cut them into chunks and place into a steamer for about  twenty minutes, until they become really soft.
3. Once they are perfectly soft and beginning to fall apart remove them and add them to a food processor with the pitted dates – this will form one of the sweetest, creamiest, most delicious mixes ever!
4. Put the remaining ingredients into a bowl, before mixing in the sweet potato date combination. Stir well.
5. Place into a lined baking dish and cook for about twenty minutes, until you can pierce the brownie cake with a fork bringing it out dry.
6. Remove the tray and allow it to cool for about ten minutes – this is really important as it needs this time to stick together! Remove the brownies from the tray, leaving it another few minutes before cutting them into squares – then dig in and enjoy!
