Course: Desserts
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes- boiled and pureed in blender
  • ⅔ cup maple syrup
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ tablespoons plant-based butter
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ⅔ cup oat flour
  • To serve (optional): Dairy-free cream (I use 'Oatly' brand), strawberries or raspberries, vegan ice cream and/or dark chocolate sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200 deg C (400 deg F). Line a baking dish with parchment paper
  • To prepare sweet potatoes, peel and chop in medium sized pieces. Boil until soft. Cool and puree in blender
  • Add sweet potato puree, maple syrup, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and melted vegan butter to food processor and blend well
  • Add cocoa powder, sea salt, and baking powder and oat flour and blend
  • Transfer mixture to parchment-lined baking dish, spread evenly with a spatula and then with fork to achieve an even distribution of batter
  • Bake in centre of oven for around 30 mins. A fork inserted into centre should come out mostly clean- edges should be dry and centre not too gooey.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool
  • Slice in medium sized pieces
  • Can be eaten straight away while still warm or cooled in fridge. Optional: Serve with dairy-free cream (I use 'Oatly' brand), strawberries or raspberries, vegan ice cream and/or dark chocolate sauce. Enjoy!
