Key Ingredients
- Sweet Potato – serves as a binding agent, and a source of moisture, creating a dense, fudgey texture with less added sugar and fat
- Almond Butter – creates a thick base without needing to need butter, and are able to keep this dairy free
- Oat flour – helps bind the wet ingredients together into a brownie dough
- Cocoa Powder – a staple for a rich, chocolate brownie base
- Coconut Sugar – refined sugar free sweetener. Coconut sugar is lower glycemic index than white sugar, meaning it’s less likely to spike your blood sugar
- Colorant– I used Color Kitchen Foods dye-free colorant in the icing. I also like Go Supernatural Brand
Process
- Combine wet ingredients, then add in dry ingredients. Stir until combined then pour into 8×8 dish lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes
- Let cool completely. Then cut into triangles
- Stick candy canes into the bottom – yumearth brand
- Ice with green icing organic vanilla with colorkitchenfoods natural coloring
- Top with yumearth yellow chocolate gems
- Sprinkle with gosupernatural natural Christmas sprinkles
- Enjoy!
Variations for Dietary Preferences
- Almond Butter – you can replace with any nut butter of choice, even sun butter to keep it nut free
- Coconut Sugar – you can sub brown sugar
- Coconut oil – can sub for another neutral oil, such as algae oil or avocado oil
- Cocoa Powder – I would not sub completely, but you can use 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder plus 1/4 cup cocoa powder to add a boost of protein
