Sweet Potato Vanilla Blondies
There’s something about Sweet Potato Brownies and Blondies that I just can’t get enough of! They are so dense and fudgy, exactly how a brownie/blondie should be!
My recent Sweet Potato Protein Brownies have been a HIT so I thought I’d make a blondie version of the recipe because as a kid, blondies were one of my favourite treats to make!
If you’re not familiar with the term ‘blondie’, it is basically a Brownie but without the chocolate. But still super decadent and delicious!
Ingredients
1 cup sweet potato puree (I use steam sweet potato and then mash it to make this)
2.5 tbsp coconut flour
60g Happy Way Vegan Vanilla Protein Powder
1 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
3 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp cashew butter (or any nut butter)
A dash or two of almond milk (or milk of choice) as needed for consistency
1/4 cup chopped macadamias
Optional: chocolate chips
Method
Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius, fan-forced.
Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl and then mix in the wet ingredients.
Stir in the macadamias or chocolate chips (if using).
Transfer mixture into a baking pan (I used a loaf pan so the blondies turned out thicker!).
Bake for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean (baking time will be less if you use a large pan and make thinner blondies).
Allow to cool for 30 minutes and then slice into 8 even pieces.
