Choc Walnut Brownies with Salted Caramel Whip

These gluten, sugar, and dairy free brownies are so incredibly moist and dense! They freeze really well too, so they are perfect for a wholesome snack or lunch box filler. A big thanks to Kira Westwick for the recipe!

Ingredients (Brownies)

1 medium raw orange sweet potato, peeled and grated finely (about 2 1/2 cups of grated sweet potato)
2 whole eggs, beaten
2 tsp real vanilla extract
1/2 cup Flannerys Own Organic Maple Syrup, or preferred sweetener
1/2 cup Flannerys Own Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
1 heaped tsp of Flannerys Own Baking Powder
½ cup Flannerys Own Certified Organic Cacao Powder
2 TBS Flannerys Own Organic Coconut Flour & no more! A little goes a LONG way!
1 cup Flannerys Own Walnut Halves, chopped

Ingredients (Salted Caramel Whip)

2/3 cup Flannerys Own Cashew Spread
1/2 cup Flannerys Own Organic Maple Syrup
1 TBS Flannerys Own Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Pinch Flannerys Own Fine Himalayan Salt, or to taste
Splash water, if needed to a thick caramel consistency

Method

Preheat oven to 170C.
Add vanilla, maple syrup and coconut oil to a large mixing bowl over a pot of hot water and melt together. Take off the heat and cool slightly, then add sweet potato and eggs and mix well.
Now add the dry ingredients, combining well.
Pour the mixture into a cake or muffin tray, greased with a little coconut oil. Sprinkle with nuts.
Bake for 15-20 minutes. Check with a skewer- unlike a cake which will come out clean, the centre should still be ever so slightly gooey so it stays moist. Remove and cool for 5-10 minutes before carefully turning out onto a cooling rack.
To make the caramel add all ingredients to a small food processor or blender, and process until a smooth caramel consistency forms. If it’s too thick or seizes add a little water.
If you want to pipe the caramel on, ensure you make a thick consistency, place in a piping bag and into the fridge to firm up, otherwise add dollops to each brownie and top with a walnut.
