- 1/2 cup chestnut flour or almond flour
- 1 3/4 cup mashed cooked sweet potato
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp alcohol-free vanilla flavoring
- 1/2 tsp baking soda

- 2 tbsp tahini
- 2 tbsp natural cocoa powder

Instructions:
- For the brownie, preheat the oven to 350˚F. Mix together the cocoa powder and flour and then mix into the mashed sweet potato. Stir in cinnamon, vanilla, baking soda, baking powder, walnuts, seeds, and nondairy milk.
- Press dough into a lightly oiled 9 x 9-inch baking dish and bake for 30 minutes. The brownies will firm up after they have cooled.
