Back on the sweet potato bang wagon. I have to say, sweet potatoes, dates and chocolate goes very well together. Ever since I’ve made my sweet potato chocolate cake, these three ingredients have been my favourite combination.
Last week, Mayver’s products were on half price at Coles. I go all Singaporean when things go half price and I bought a few bottles of Tahini and peanut butter to be used in my baking. Today, I’ve decided to experiment on sweet potato tahini brownies. The recipe is very similar to my sweet potato chocolate cake except that I’ve added Tahini. Oh and did I also mention that it is gluten free as well? The Tahini added an extra moisture to the brownies and they turned out absolutely delicious! Yum!
