Calories 83kcal
- ½ cup oat flour
- 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ 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
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!
