Chocolate Brownies

Makes 12 pieces
Ingredients
Cake

  • 600g sweet potato, peeled
  • 12 (200g) fresh medjool dates, pitted •1/2 cup light milk or milk substitute
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup almond meal
  • 1/2 cup cacao or cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup self-raising wholemeal flour

Icing

  • 20g dark chocolate (at least 70%)
  • ½ tsp coconut oil or vegetables oil
  • 2 tbs of stevia natural sweetener
  • 1 tbsp cocoa or cacao powder
  • 4 tbs of thick greek yoghurt
  • 16 strawberries

Instructions

  1. Steam sweet potato for 20 minutes or until very soft. Allow to cool slightly.
    Preheat oven to 180°C. Line base and two sides of a 20cm square tin with baking paper.
    Place dates, steamed sweet potato and milk into a food processor and process until smooth. Add egg, almond meal, cocoa and salt, and process until well combined. Transfer to a large bowl. Fold through baking powder and flour until just combined. Tip mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 35 minutes, or until a skewer comes out with just a few crumbs clinging to it.
    Allow to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then run a knife around the unlined sides and turn out onto a rack to cool completely before cutting.
  2. To make the icing, melt the chocolate in a heat proof bowl over boiling water on the stove. Add in the oil, the sugar and the cacao powder slowly once the chocolate begins to melt. Take it off the stove once it is liquid to avoid over cooking.
  3. Once the icing is set, use the yoghurt as the ‘glue’ between the strawberry and the cake. Make sure you hull the strawberries flat so that there is a flat end to pop onto the yoghurt.

Tawhai says: “Before the 28 Day Challenges regularly after a busy day I wouldn’t be organised and we would have takeaway.
Now I customise the meal plan on Sunday night and do our shopping online for collection Monday morning.
It saves time running around the supermarket and it also stops junk food sneaking in the trolley. I write up the meal plan and stick it to the fridge so I know exactly what we are having each day, it makes life so much easier.
If you are thinking about joining the 28 Day Challenges definitely give it a go, you won’t regret it at all!”
