Fruit sweetened and/or nutrient-dense desserts
Have any recipes to share?
I just saw this recipe, haven't tried it yet, but I'm hoping to.
Sweet Potato and Avocado Brownies
Ingredients:
1/2 cup mashed avocado (about 1/2 an avocado)
1/2 cup cooked sweet potato
1/2 cup creamy nut butter (almond, cashew, tahini, etc)
1/2 cup chocolate chips
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut milk
3 tablespoons cacao powder
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 325° F, and line a regular size loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it. Then blend all other ingredients except chocolate chips in a food processor or blender. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand and transfer the batter to the loaf pan.
Level the batter in the pan, it will be thick. Bake for 20 minutes.
Cool in the pan and slice.
We also make banana "ice cream." Take overly ripe bananas, peel and freeze them. (Slice before freezing if you have time.) Break into chunks if not already sliced and place into food processor with a small amount of liquid. (I use milk, you can use coconut or almond milk. I've never used water but it might work.) Blend until creamy. Serve as is or sprinkle with chocolate chips and/or nuts.
