Ingredients
  

  • 1 sweet potato – medium size could use pumpkin instead too
  • 1/4 of a banana ripe
  • 3 organic eggs at room temp whisked
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil melted
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp of coconut flour could use other flours too
  • 3 tbsp of coconut sugar or allulose or sweetener of choice
  • 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder
  • 3 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • a pinch of pumpkin spice or nutmeg if you want
  • 3 tbsp of mini chocolate chips for the top
  • OPTIONAL TOPPINGS: whipped cream vanilla bean ice cream, or walnuts or pecans

Instructions
 

  • I like to cut the sweet potato in half and use a knife or a fork to puncture before baking it for 25-30 minutes.
  • Once your sweet potato is cooked all the way through, peel the skin and mash it up in a bowl. Now add the banana and mash again. Turn your oven down to 350 F.
  • In a med bowl – mix the wet; vanilla, eggs, and coconut oil. Mix together well with the sweet potato/banana mixture. Next mix all the dry in a med bowl; coconut sugar (or sweetener of choice), coconut flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and if using – a dash of pumpkin spice and/or nutmeg. Add to the wet. Mix together very well. TIP: You can’t really over mix these since they are gluten-free by using the coconut flour.
  • Grease an 8×8 baking dish with coconut oil (or spray) and pour in the mixture. Now sprinkle the mini chocolate chips (or other toppings) evenly on top.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean from the middle.
  • Let it cool. If you want you can add a dollop of fresh whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon. Any toppings you want or plain are also just so good. Enjoy! Store in the fridge or freezer is best.
  • Great snack or healthier treat anytime of day. Perfect for the kids, an afternoon pick-me-up or an anytime treat!
