Sweet Potato Brownies
So, I asked you guys what recipe you wanted to see next, and the majority vote was easy brownies! What could be easier than Nutri Bullet brownies featuring some of our kitchen staples 🙂 This recipe requires steamed sweet potato, so I recommend to steam some extra when you’re prepping it at dinner time. If you don’t have a Nutri Bullet obviously a regular blender will work too!

Ingredients
- 1 medium – large ( 9″x 6 “) sweet potato peeled and steamed

- 1 tsp. vanilla (essence or pod)
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 chia egg (1 tbsp. whole chia seeds soaked for 20 minutes with 3 tbsp. water)
Topping
- 70g dark chocolate (opt for vegan chocolate to keep recipe vegan)

- While this is baking, melt the chocolate and stir in the coconut oil until it dissolves.
- Once the brownie is cooked, pour over the melted chocolate and sprinkle with the toasted nuts. Then place to one side to let set (in the fridge if you want to speed things up).
- Slice and serve!
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
