I make these so often, I can probably do it in my sleep. They are always requested by my son and DIL. The kids don’t eat chocolate, so it’s a grownup treat ONLY.
It’s SOOO easy and SOOO yummy.

Even if you’re not #vegan, don’t skip this recipe. I bet you’ll find it’s worth a try, especially if you love chocolate as much as I do.
It was so good, I’ve made it twice. The first time I used only five ingredients:
*Sweet potato, one cup cooked VERY SOFT and mashed
*Nut butter (I used almond), 1/2 cup
*Maple syrup, 1/3 cup
*Vanilla, one teaspoon
*Cocoa, 1/3 cup
Blend all ingredients by hand or in a food processor. Spread in a pie plate or small square baking dish.
Bake at 350 degrees for about twenty minutes. Let sit until completely cool.
If you have the time, the flavors are enhanced if it’s refrigerated or even frozen. I cut them into bite-sized pieces ‘cos it’s really rich.
You don’t actually NEED frosting, but who ever said no to more chocolate? Here’s my best baking hack for that…

The results can be a bit dense; sometimes I add 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or buckwheat flour. It would also be easy to blend some oats for oat flour, so that’s definitely an option.
YUM. Delicious AND healthy!
P.S. This recipe isn’t overly sweet, so if you want to add more maple syrup or even a LITTLE sugar, go ahead. I thought it was perfect without any additional sweetener, but I’m a choco-holic.
If I wasn’t on a low carb diet I’d be straight out in the kitchen making these. My mouth is watering and I’m having hot flushes ….

Are there too many carbs in sweet potatoes? They are seriously good.

No, it’s the maple syrup π¦

If you can have agave syrup, that’d be a sub for the maple, and maybe add a pinch of cinnamon.
