Ingredients
For the cookie dough:
- 2oz coconut oil, melted
- 3oz almond butter
- 4oz coconut sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 4oz ground almonds
- 3oz tapioca flour
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 4oz choc chips
For the brownies:
- 8oz peeled sweet potato, cubed
- 3oz coconut sugar
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2oz tapioca flour
- 2oz ground almonds
- 3 large eggs
- 1oz cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 3oz butter, melted
- 3oz chocolate, melted
Instructions
Step 1
Grease and line the cake tin with a large sheet of parchment so that you have a 'sling' to lift the brownies out later. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
Step 2
Start by making the cookie dough. In a medium sized mixing bowl, beat together melted coconut oil almond butter and coconut sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, stir to incorporate.
Step 3
Fold in the remaining cookie dough ingredients until the dough comes together. Weigh the dough and remove roughly 1/5. Roll into 16 even sized balls, place onto a plate then place into the freezer. Place the remaining dough into the lined tin and press into the tin until you have a nice even layer. Freeze for 30 minutes.
Step 4
Whilst the dough is chilling add all of the brownie ingredients, except for the melted butter and chocolate, to the bowl of a food process and process until smooth, scraping down the sides with a silicone spatula between blends. Add the melted butter and chocolate and blend again until incorporated.
Step 5
Remove the cookie dough from the freezer. Pour the brownie batter into the tin. Then place the cookie dough balls into the batter gently, dispersing them evenly.
Step 6
Place the tin into the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. The brownies will be ready when the sides come away from the tin and there's no wobble when you shake the tin.
Step 7
Once baked leave to cool in the tin for 30 minutes then remove and slice into 16 squares. It's best to use a hot damp knife, slicing between cuts. You can then leave to cool further or serve immediately.
