Manna from Heaven

By:  Maria




Yea, ok....so technically, I wouldn't call this "health" food, but it's a far cry from the typical sugar-laden recipes you find out there AND, after a tough workout, you can practically fly these little treats under the nutritional radar without the detrimental effects you would have if using refined flour and refined sugars.

Ingredients
1 sweet potato (I used a large potato, next time, I'll go smaller)
3 eggs, whisked
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1 banana mashed (or you could use honey)
1/2 cup Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips (gluten, dairy, soy free!)
3 tablespoons organic coconut flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of salt

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees, using a fork, puncture holes all around it, and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Let cool slightly, peel off the skin and mash it up in a bowl.
Turn oven down to 350 degrees.
Mix wet ingredients in a bowl: coconut oil, banana (or honey), vanilla, and whisked eggs.
Add dry ingredients: coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and chocolate chips. Mix until thoroughly incorporated.
Pour into an 8×8 glass baking dish.
Bake for 30-35 minutes.
Watch them disappear!
