healthy weekend treats are a must & mm these are so YUM.
mildly sweet (the only “sugar” comes from the sweet potato!), gooey, & rich. plus they’re vegan, high in fiber, & very easy to make.
•wrap one large or two medium organic sweet potatoes in foil (don’t poke holes!) and bake at 425°F for an hour or so until super soft. cool, peel, and mash up the flesh in a large mixing bowl until super smooth (you’ll want about 2 c). turn oven down to 350°F.
•in a small bowl, mix 2 T ground organic flax seed with 6 T filtered water and set aside for 15 minutes to thicken.
•to your sweet potato mash, add: 1/2 t organic pure vanilla extract, 3 T melted organic vanilla bean ghee or evo coconut oil, generous pinch of sea salt, 3/4 c organic cacao powder, 1.5 t baking powder.
**important: if you aren’t a fan of super dark chocolate or want to make these more sweet (especially if making for kiddos), add 1/2 c organic coconut sugar or monk fruit**
•mix all ingredients well, then add flax mixture and mix until very smooth. the batter should be thick, not runny.
•with wet hands, roll into 1.5” balls and gently flatten on a parchment-lined baking sheet. option to add chopped organic cacao paste &/or nuts to the top. bake at 350°F for 20-25 min until they are dry on the outside but still very gooey inside. cool, eat with homemade nut milk and fresh berries. if you’re feeling extra, eat with a scoop of coconut yogurt on top.
•store in an air-tight container in fridge, or freeze for several months!
