Ingredients
Scale
- 20 Medjool dates (pitted)
- 1 cup water
- 3/4 cup sweet potatoes (steamed, mashed with a bit of water)
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1 tablespoon leftover coffee
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Frosting Ingredients
- 4 Medjool dates (pitted)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons water
- 1 banana
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 5- x 7-inch baking pan with parchment paper. (I use a glass Pyrex baking dish.)
- Into the bowl of a large food processor or blender, place 20 pitted dates, plus 1 cup water. Process until pureed. Add the other brownie ingredients, and mix until just combined.
- Pour batter, which will be very thick, into the baking pan. Make sure the batter is very evenly distributed in the pan. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove brownies from oven and allow to rest on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. While the brownies are cooling, you can prepare the frosting…
- Using a food processor or blender, blend frosting ingredients together. Then just slather over the top of the brownies, and serve.
