Fudgy sweet potato chocolate brownies

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 160°C. Line a 20cm square cake tin with baking paper.

2 In a microwave-safe bowl, place dates and 1 tablespoon water. Cover and microwave on high for 1 minute. Roughly mash dates with a fork.

3 In a food processor, blitz kumara and dates until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla and oil and process until well combined. Transfer to a large bowl.

4 Into the kumara mixture, sift cocoa and baking powder and stir until just combined. Sprinkle and gently mix in the almond meal.

5 Pour brownie mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until just firm when lightly pressed. Set aside to cool in the pan before cutting into 16 squares. Serve brownies dusted with extra cocoa.
