This recipe from eatdrinkpaleo that popped up my screen when I was searching for ‘Paleo brownies made with sweet potato’, and boy I’m glad it did! I’ve tweaked it slightly, and it is ridiculously good – incredible! Yum. Yum. Yum!
Please be aware that it contains sweet potato and honey, and will therefore be higher in carbs than other recipes on here – this is Paleo, not LCHF. To reduce the carb count you could try Xylitol or stevia as the sweetener (I haven’t tried this yet).

 Ingredients:
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and quartered
- 3 whole eggs
- ½ cup melted coconut oil
- â…“ cup honey
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- ½ cup raw cacao powder, sifted
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 2½ Tbsp. coconut flour
Method:
- Preheat oven to 185°C – oven must be hot before putting the brownies in.
- Add peeled sweet potato to Thermomix and purée 1 minute, speed 7 (you may need to stop halfway to free it up from the blades). Sweet potato should now be a creamy consistancy.
- Add all other ingredients Mix at Speed 5 for 40 seconds.
- Pour mixture into a baking dish lined with baking paper and lightly greased.
- Bake 25-30 minutes.
- Transfer the brownies (paper and all) to a chopping board and cut it into squares.
Options:
- Add cacao nibs for a chocolatey crunch.
- Add desiccated coconut
- Use rice malt syrup in place of honey
- Drizzle with some melted chocolate
- For egg-free, replace the 3 eggs with 3Tbsp of golden flax seed flour and 9 Tbsp. water
- Turn it into a self-saucing pudding by pouring the mixture into a greased baking dish, pouring 1 cup of boiling water gently over the top (place a spoon upsidedown and pour the water over that so you don’t make a big hole in the mixture! Drizzle with 2 Tbsp. of rice malt syrup and sprinkle with 2 Tbsp. raw cacao powder. Bake for 45 minutes at 180C.
