Ingredients

  • ½ cup oat flour
  • 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup mashed or pureed sweet potato flesh about 200 grams
  • 1 Tablespoon melted coconut oil
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 Tablespoon milk of your choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • It's important to begin with room temperature ingredients, as the coconut oil will seize and form clumps in the batter if it becomes cold.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Whisk the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, mash the sweet potato and stir in the oil, maple, milk, and vanilla.
  • Pour the sweet potato mixture in with the dry mix and stir until well combined.
  • Oil a 7 x 5 inch baking dish and spread the batter evenly into the dish.
  • Top with chopped chocolate or chocolate chips, if desired.
  • Bake for 18-25 minutes or until top feels springy to the touch. I like mine a bit under baked.
  • Cool 5-10 minutes before cutting to ensure best structure.
  • Serve with the above chocolate drizzle!
