There is something immensely satisfying about a decadent breakfast. That doesn't change when you go paleo. Some mornings, I toss a handful of spinach leaves in a skillet, pour some eggs over, and breakfast is served. When hungry, lazy, short on time or a combination of these, even cold leftovers will do.
But sometimes, you just have to take the time to spoil yourself. These brownies are a good start.
So what do we need?
- 2 sweet potatoes, boiled or steemed: do this ahead of time so they can cool down
- 5 eggs
- 1,5 tablespoons of coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons of hemp protein powder (or another type of paleo protein powder)
- 4 tablespoons of pure, unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp of coconut oil
- Thickened apple-berry juice to sweeten
Do this:
- Add ingredients to a blender. Push the button.
- I’m not a bit afraid of raw egg, so I tasted my muffin batter to check if it was sweet enough. I don’t have a sweet tooth, but next time I make them for kids, I will be adding some more thickened juice.
- Pour the batter into a muffin tin lined with baking paper or muffin tin liners or rub some melted butter into the molds to make your brownies come out easily. You could also do a batch in one large mold as well.
- Bake at 180°C for about 25 minutes, or until they are firm. I have an oven with a dodgy thermostat so I need to wing it and keep a careful watch on my brownies.
So that's it.
Hope you like'em!
