This recipe may be my biggest hit yet. Somehow this recipe creates brownies that are cakey and moist and outrageously chocolatey. Anyone who tastes these are blown away. When I tell them they're paleo, they're like "what's paleo"? They truly can't tell. ​They're just damn good. End of story. The batter can also be poured into a cupcake tin and spread with chocolate frosting on top (recipe below). Enjoy!

Ingredients
1 ripe banana
1/2 large sweet potato (boiled or baked)
3 duck eggs or 4 chicken eggs
5 dates (roughly chopped)
2 heaping table spoons of honey
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup nut butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup cocoa powder

Steps
1) Blend the banana, eggs, boiled sweet potato (peel on), and dates in a vitamix or good blender until completely smooth. 
2) In a mixing bowl the above to nut butter and mix well. 
3) Add vanilla extract, salt, and baking powder. Stir in then add honey and stir more. 
4) Add coca powder slowly (so as not to make a mess) and mix in. Mix in the chocolate chips last. 
5) Heat oven 325 degrees F. Grease a 9x9” pan with coconut oil. Pour the batter in. 
6) Bake for 45 min or until it passes the toothpick/chopstick test.
