HIDDEN VEGGIE BROWNIES THAT YOUR TODDLER WILL ACTUALLY EAT! 🍠



Mama, if you're tired of the veggie battles, these sweet potato brownies are about to become your new best friend! They're naturally sweetened, packed with nutrients, and most importantly – totally toddler-approved!




✨ Why You'll Love These:

  • Sneaky vegetable serving (they'll never know!)

  • Natural sweetness from dates (no refined sugar!)

  • Rich in fiber and healthy fats

  • Perfect for little hands

  • Great for breakfast or snack time

  • Freezer-friendly (hello, meal prep!)


👶 Ingredients:

  • 2 large sweet potatoes (packed with vitamin A!)


  • 12 pitted Medjool dates


  • 100g ground almonds


  • 100g oat flour


  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil

    melted (+ extra for greasing)

  • 6 tablespoons of cacao or cocoa powder


  • 6 tablespoons maple syrup


  • 2 tablespoons of almond butter

    optional


  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder


  • handful of 70% cocoa dark chocolate chips


  • pinch of sea salt

🧁 Easy-Peasy Method:

1

Preheat the oven to 180C (350F), fan setting.

2

Place the sweet potato into a steamer or in a saucepan with boiling water for 15-30 minutes, until they become really soft (the length of time will depend on the size of the chunks).

3

While the sweet potatoes cook, grind the oats in a food processor until they form a flour (if not already), place to one side.

4

Once the sweet potatoes are soft and beginning to fall apart, drain them and add them to a food processor with the pitted dates. Blend until smooth. Now add the remaining ingredients (except the chocolate) and blend until smooth. Once blended, stir through the chocolate chips (if using).

5

Spoon the mixture into a lined baking dish and cook for 45-50 minutes until you can pierce the brownie with a fork and bring it out clean.

6

Remove the tray and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes – this is really important as it needs this time to stick together.

7

For the chocolate sauce, simply place all of the ingredients into a pan over a medium heat. Stir continuously until everything is melted and has come together to form a smooth sauce, about 5 minutes. Pour on top of the brownies when ready to serve.

💡 Mom Hack: Make a double batch and freeze individual portions for easy snacks!


🌟 Optional Chocolate Drizzle: Mix 1 tsp cacao/ cocoa powder, 2 tbsp each of coconut oil, Maple syrup, and coconut milk. Warm and drizzle!


❤️ Mom-to-Mom Tip: Let these cool completely before cutting – trust me on this one! They'll hold together much better for little hands.
