When you’re going gluten-free it can feel like there aren’t that many suitable baking options, which is where these Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Brownies come in.
They contain coconut flour, which means they’re gluten-free, so they’re perfect for anyone living with coeliac disease or those who avoid gluten. I am personally on the hunt for gluten-free desserts just so I know one or two recipes to serve in case there is the need.
The flavour of the sweet potato is just lovely in these, but if you want to tone done and opt for a milder flavour choose the white-flesh purple-skinned sweet potatoes over the traditional variety. Either way it tastes amazing!
