A fantastic brownie and you would never guess it was made with sweet potatoes. No flour, no added sugar. It tasted like dark chocolate and had the consistency of fudge. I serve this with Coconut Whipped Cream and fresh berries.

Ingredients:

I cup of mashed sweet potato

1/2 cup of nut butter or nut spread (of your choice)

1/2 cup of cocoa butter

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 tablespoons of dairy free butter

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180°C / 160° Fan / 350°F / Gas Mark 4.

Line a small brownie tin with greaseproof paper.

Place all ingredients into food processor or blender and blend until smooth consistency.

Transfer to pan and level.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.

Cool completely in tin before slicing.

Additional Notes:

Serve with Coconut Whipped Cream and Berries of your choice.

This can be frozen.

Health and Auto-immune Diseases

I have auto-immune diseases and expected to be on medicine for the rest of my life, but I didn't want to live like that. My rheumatology Doctor was so supportive of the change I wanted to make, and with their help, I now manage my auto-immune diseases by being strict with my diet.

It can be quite frightening when you first find out you have to change the way you eat but for some of us' Food is our medicine.'

I have several websites, write blogs, and I'm currently in the process of writing a book.

I trained to be Holistic Health Coach, Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher and Certified Gluten Free Practitioner in order to heal myself, my family and others who find themselves on the same journey as myself.

Photography

Our love for photography started on our travels. We wanted to capture images of the areas we travelled to both for our own records and for our family back at home. Some of these images were reproduced as watercolours. Our favourite images we display at home and friends often asked where we had purchased the pictures! Now you can purchase them online directly from us.
