Vegan Almond Brownie ꓲ Gluten-Free & Refined Sugar-Free

November 21, 2020 Leave a Comment

This post is also available in: enEnglish frFrançais

The search for the perfect brownie continues and I think this Vegan Almond Brownie is pretty close to perfection 😊.

Both vegan and gluten-free, this brownie is also high in vitamins thanks to the sweet potatoes and almonds.

A few months ago, I made this amazing brownie, the difference is that I had used dates and almond flour, while in this recipe I am using coconut sugar and ground oats. I find this recipe to be stickier and it makes for a bigger portion too. I love both recipes equally, it is like children, you just can’t ask me to choose between the two 😊. I guess you will have to try them both and let me know which one you preferred!

Let me remind you of some of the benefits of eating a dessert made with sweet potatoes.

THE BENEFITS OF EATING SWEET POTATOES

Sweet potatoes are rich in fibers which helps in preventing constipation. They are a great source of vitamin A, which helps form and maintain healthy teeth, bones, soft tissue, mucous membranes, and skin. They are high in vitamin C & vitamin B6, as well as manganese and beta-carotene. Sweet Potatoes are so versatile and are a great addition to desserts thanks to their natural sweetness, and makes for a very gooey texture.

THE BENEFITS OF EATING ALMONDS

Almonds are a great source of Vitamin E which is great for skin’s health and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

I have decided to roast the almonds, why? Because it adds so much flavors and depth to the recipe, but it is completely optional! You can absolutely skip this step.

I hope you try and like these Vegan Almond Brownie if so let me know! Share on Pinterest and tag a photo on Instagram #mimies_delicacies so that I can see your lovely creations as well as helping me reach more of you lovely people. Merci my friends !

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup of whole almonds
  • 2 cups of ground oats or ground buckwheat
  • 4 tbsp. cacao powder
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 tbsp. maca powder
  • ½ cup almond butter
  • 3 tbsp. melted coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180 °C. Line a 20 × 20 cm square baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes and chop into 3 cm chunks. Put the sweet potato cubes into a saucepan of water, cover and bring to the boil.
  3. Leave to simmer for 10 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender. Drain the water, then mash the sweet potatoes.
  4. Next, roast the almonds for 10 minutes. Let them cool a little before chopping them coarsely in your food processor.
  5. In a large bowl mix together the almonds, ground oats,
    cacao powder, maca powder, coconut sugar and salt.
  6. Transfer the sweet potato puree, almond butter and melted
    coconut oil mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. I use my hands for that step 😊. The batter should feel sticky, that’s normal and this is what you are looking for!
  7. Transfer the batter into your square pan and drizzle some almond butter on the top if desired.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes. Once baked remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. I highly advise you to try it while still warm! 🙂
