Sweet Potato and Apple Brownies

I have being postponing to post this recipe, however every time I do at home, I have an intense desire to share this succulent, and healthy recipe.

These brownies are originally from Chef Jacques La Merde from IQ FOOD Co. in Toronto. This recipe is from his famous dessert menu.I have added some spices and have experimented with a different flavour of fruits, like adding pieces of apple or pear. Either way, this dessert can make kids eat their protein and still look for more.

Ingredients:

1 large sweet potato
1 cup natural almond butter
1/4 cup maple syrup or raw agave
1 cup of unsweetened applesauce
