Gooey Sweet Potato Brownies

INGREDIENTS:

3 ounces (or about one bar) unsweetened chocolate
1 tbsp coconut oil
½ cup sweet potato puree
3 tbsp raw honey
½ cup coconut sugar
¼ cup cocoa powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup apple sauce
¼ cup water
¾ cup brown rice flour
¾ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8×8-inch square pan with coconut oil and powder with flour.

Melt the chocolate and coconut oil over low heat.

Combine sweet potato, coconut sugar, honey, cocoa powder, vanilla and applesauce in the food processor. Add the chocolate/oil mix and combine until smooth – it should be creamy, not too dry.

Mix in the flour, baking powder and sea salt and process again. Add water if needed for desired consistency.

Pour batter into the pan, smooth it out with a spatula and bake it for 35 – 40 minutes.

Insert a toothpick to make sure they are cooked through; they should be firm when you press down.

Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
