About

This brownie is the perfect combination of rich, chocolatey intensity without being too dense and sticky. The protein-rich nut butter provides the oil, and the starchy sweet potato binds everything together. As well as being high in fibre, sweet potatoes contain antioxidants and vitamins A, C and B6. It’s a sweet vegan miracle, naturally.
