Nutrient-packed Walnut Brownies
By: Ashley Dew
This is an incredibly tasting and super healthy recipe that I got from one of my oldest and best friends and I just pimped it with a walnut. 😉 From the taste and perfect consistency of this brownie, you would never in a million years believe it is made with just four healthy ingredients: almond butter, raw cocoa, sweet potatoes and honey. They are extremely addictive and (mostly) guilt free. If you have a sensitivity to nuts or are diabetic then approach with caution. For the rest of you, get ready, you are about to fall in love!

Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C and line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper.
Step 2
Using a food processor, blend (pre-cooked) sweet potato and cacao powder until combined.
Step 3
Add in the remaining ingredients. Batter will be very thick so you will need to add a little water to thin it out.
Step 4
Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts and pour brownie batter into the prepared baking dish.Â
Step 5
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. If at 20 minutes they are still too wet inside, let them bake for a couple of extra minutes. But keep in mind that they will continue to bake as they cool down.
Step 6
Slice into squares once they have completely cooled to prevent crumbling. Enjoy!
