Choc Brownies
This is definitely always a crowd pleaser and has only all natural ingredients. The sweet potatoes give these brownies a soft texture and the small amount of maple syrup allows for minimal sugar but a perfect amount of sweetness.
Theses little beauties are of course gluten-free. They are also dairy-free and egg-free and can easily last up to a week in the fridge.
