I got the idea from Deliciously Ella - one of my favourite blogs which has loads of amazingly delicious healthy recipes - I'm obsessed!
At first the ingredients seemed like they would be quite hard to get hold of as, apart from sweet potatoes, none of it was stuff I usually buy. However, I managed to get it all from either Holland & Barrett or Waitrose so it really wasn't that difficult, apart from the raw cacao which I ordered from Amazon.
Go to the Deciously Ella site for the recipe!
The brownies turned out pretty well. The only thing was as this recipe doesn't give a weight for the sweet potatoes it is hard to tell whether you're using too much or too little in proportion to the other ingredients and so I think I ended up using too much, meaning that they didn't taste as chocolatey as I wanted them too (so I added some small chunks of dark chocolate which definitely isn't part of Ella's recipe...but I'm sure hers wouldn't have needed it haha) - but now I know for next time to use less sweet potato!
I gave them to my family after our Sunday roast (which my mum cooked and was AMAZING).
Their responses were good - luckily they all love sweet potato as they were very potatoey! My boyfriend said they definitely needed more cacao.. So I will try again soon and see if I can make them even better than this first attempt!
Practice makes perfect...
