I always love a good recipe that sneaks in vegetables and other nutritious ingredients without sacrificing any of what we all crave. These brownies are inspired by the leftover sweet potato that has been sitting on my counter since last weekend + a strong craving for chocolate! My friend Dave got me interested in Cacao powder and I decided to give it a try in these brownies as well and they turned out GREAT! The best part of these brownies is that they are AMAZING as leftovers straight from the fridge. They take on a fudge like quality and can be enjoyed all week!
Ingredients 1 cup almond flour ½ cup of Cacao Powder (or cocoa powder) ¾ cup of coconut sugar or white sugar 1tsp baking powder 2 flax eggs (2T ground flax + 6T water) ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk ¾ cups of chocolate chips (make sure they are vegan) ½ cup coconut oil ½ tsp vanilla extract ⅓ cup creamy almond butter 1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potato **see notes Directions
NOTES *** These brownies are moist and fudgy, they may look like they are not done, but they are! Make sure you let them cool completely before cutting, eating and enjoying. ** SUPER EASY Sweet Potato Mash

Does anyone remember that silly song, I like to eat apples and bananas?” Creating these muffins brought me back to those fun lyrics, and truly made me miss my students even more! I always sing this song for my 1st graders around this time of the year, and now with the distance learning taking place, I am really truly missing seeing their faces light up when we do fun silly songs such as this one. Anyway, back to the world of food. These VEGAN muffins are stuffed with plant based goodness and are easy to make and a fun breakfast treat you can enjoy throughout the week. I also snuck in some protein with the addition of the oat flour, which, if you haven’t tried making oat flour before, is VERY easy. You simply add whole oats to a blender and blend until it looks like flour! I use oat flour in pancakes too, so I always make a bunch and store it in a large airtight container for easy use! I hope you enjoy these muffins! If you make them tag us on social media!
Ingredients (makes 12 muffins)
1 flax egg (1T ground flax + 1.5T water) - you can also use 1 chicken egg if not vegan 2 overripe bananas mashed ½ cup brown sugar ½ cup avocado oil ½ tsp vanilla 2T unsweetened plain almond milk (or any other non dairy milk) ½ cup oat flour (oats ground up in high speed blender into flour) 1 cup all purpose flour 1+1/2 tsp baking powder 1tsp cinnamon 1 heaping cup of peeled green apples diced very small
