Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 350 g raw sweet potato 250g cooked puree
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup honey/ agave syrup/ maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 40 g fine dark cocoa powder
  • 130 g plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 50 g butter melted
  • 100 g chocolate chips of choice
  • Serving suggestion with - vanilla yoghurt and chia seed jam

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven 180ºc fan. Line an 8in(or 20cm) square tin with parchment paper.
  • Peel and chop the sweet potato into 1.5 inch cubes. Steam or boil in a pot of water until fork tender. Strain and cool for about 20minutes.
  • Mash or blend the sweet potato to a puree then add the 3 eggs, honey, vanilla and melted butter, blend well again.
  • Pour the wet mix into a large bowl. Sieve in the plain flour, baking powder and cocoa powder, stir with a rubber spatula. Don’t over mix it. Add the chocolate chips, mix and pour into the tin.
  • Bake for approximately 25 minutes. Check it with a cocktail stick when it comes out clean. It’s cooked, a little under baked is good too!
  • Storage: good for 3 days in an air tight container or bag up and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost in an airtight container on the counter for 1 hour.
  • We love to warm in the microwave for a few seconds and serve with yoghurt, fresh cream, or ice cream and homemade chia berry jam! YUM
