Or three.
Serves 9 – 12
Ingredients
For the brownies:
• 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into 5 cm pieces
• 14 medjool dates, pitted
• 70g ground almonds
• 65g buckwheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 40g cacao powder
• 60ml maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 125ml plant-based milk
For the cookie dough topping:
• 400g tinned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 60ml maple syrup
• 80g almond butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 90g grain-sweetened chocolate chips
Method
1 Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2 Begin by steaming the sweet potatoes for 10–15 minutes, or until soft. Transfer to a food processor or blender and blitz with the remaining brownie ingredients.
3 Once a smooth mixture has formed, pour the mixture into a lined or greased square 23 cm brownie tin and bake for 20–30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
4 To make the chickpea cookie dough, place all the ingredients, except the chocolate chips, in a food processor and blitz until a beautiful cookie dough-like mix has formed.
5 Fold through the chocolate chips.
6 Smooth the cookie dough topping over the brownies in the tin and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Cut into pieces before serving.
