Ingredients

• 2 medium to large sweet potatoes
• 2/3 cup ground almonds
• ½ cup buckwheat flour (or brown rice flour as an alternative)
• 14 dates, destoned
• 4 tbsp cocoa powder
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• a pinch of salt

Here’s how you make it

1. Preheat the oven to 180C. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into chunks.
2. Boil the sweet potato until it’s soft – roughly 20 minutes.
3. Once it’s soft, transfer it to a food processor or blender with the dates and blend until smooth.
4. In a small bowl, combine the other ingredients together. Add this to the food processor and blend again until everything is combined
5. Line an oven dish with baking paper and spoon the mixture into it. Smooth the surface with a fork or spoon.
6. Bake for around 20 minutes. Test by inserting a knife or fork, and if it comes out clean it’s ready. If not, bake for a few minutes longer.
7. Allow to cool completely, and then take it out of the dish and then cut into squares.
8. Serve and share!
