Sweet Potato Brownies

If dessert and sweet snacks is really your thing, these brownies are the perfect match for you. Made with nutrient dense sweet potatoes, you get all the decadent brownie flavor while enjoying a much healthier treat. So good you won't even be able to tell they are good for you as well!
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Servings: 12
Course: Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium 2″ dia, 5″ long, raw sweet potatoes, baked
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter powder
  • 5 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoons salt

Method
 

Prep
  1. Peel pre-roasted sweet potatoes (excellent use for leftovers!) and mash the flesh. For a smoother texture, blend flesh in a food processor.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides for easy lifting.
Make
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter powder and water until smooth and paste-like. This ensures it blends evenly into the batter without any dry pockets.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, maple syrup, peanut butter paste, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and eggs. Stir vigorously until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Sift in the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt directly into the wet mixture. Fold together until just combined and no dry streaks remain – don’t overmix. Fold in most of the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful for the top.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly – it will be thick. Scatter the reserved dark chocolate chips over the top. Bake at 350°F until the edges are set, and the center is just barely firm to the touch. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
  5. Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before lifting out using the parchment overhang. Cool further on a wire rack before slicing into 8 squares. They firm up beautifully as they cool – don’t rush it!

Lemon Drop Raspberry Pops

Our frozen Lemon Raspberry Pops are made with real, wholesome ingredients and pack an 8gram protein punch per pop! They are super easy and fun to put together too. Grab the kids and make a quick raspberry sauce, mix up the lemon yogurt base, layer and swirl them together, then freeze until solid. If you need a dairy free option, swap the Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt. You can also use small paper cups and wooden craft sticks for your pops if you don't have molds on hand.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 6 hours
Servings: 6
Course: Snack

Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces Greek yogurt 2%
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Make the raspberry swirl: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the raspberries with about half of the maple syrup. Stir and cook until the raspberries break down into a thick, jammy sauce, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
  2. Make the lemon yogurt base: In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, remaining maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust the sweetness or lemon if desired.
  3. Layer the popsicles: Spoon a layer of lemon yogurt into each popsicle mold, then add a spoonful of raspberry sauce. Repeat layers, then use a skewer or thin knife to gently swirl the two together for a marbled effect.
  4. Insert sticks & freeze: Tap the molds gently on the counter to remove air bubbles. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze until completely solid.
  5. Unmold & serve: To release, run warm water over the outside of the molds for 10–15 seconds. Gently pull out the popsicles and enjoy immediately, or wrap individually in parchment and store in a zip-lock bag in the freezer.
