I have an obsession….
Not a day goes by without thinking about it..
Once it’s on my mind, it will stay there until I give into it.
What is it?
I’m always thinking of new ways to make healthy grain free and low sugar sweets.
Lame? Nah! I hope it makes you excited!
As my mind is running, I not only try create recipes that I will like, but something that I know everyone can enjoy. Even though Lisa and I like baking with coconut flour, we realized that some people don’t like the taste and texture of it. If you’re a long time reader, you already know that I LOVE showing people that you can make healthy & delicious foods. If you disagree, please stop reading our blog 
Perhaps it’s my Type A personality.
Ooooorrr perhaps, it’s just my love for teaching others how to nourish their bodies.
I’ll let you decide 
This is how these “chocolate cakies” came about.
” I wonder if I can use sweet potatoes as a base to chocolate brownies?”
” I bet I could!”
{Goes to the kitchen, mixes favorite ingredients in a bowl, puts it in the oven and crosses fingers it will turn out edible.}
Let me just say, I ‘ve never created a recipe and have it come out this well the first time. Have I said that before? Well if I did, I really mean it this time!
Even though I meant for them to be brownies, they came out more with a moist and light cake like texture. Hence the name “cakies”! Not a problem though, because I love how they turned out.
Best part is, this recipe is super simple and you can put it together in a pinch if you bake the sweet potato ahead of time. It also uses every day ingredients I’m sure you already have on hand!
Chocolate Cakies
Serves 9
Ingredients
2/3 cup mashed sweet potato, about one small potato (try not to over bake it to mush)
1/3 cup cocoa powder
2 Tbs coconut oil
1 Tbs honey (add more if you want it to be more sweet)
2 eggs
1/4 tsp chocolate stevia (can sub vanilla stevia or add more honey)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
Directions:
Here comes the hard part…. Using an immersion blender, food processor or blender, mix everything together! Gosh, I just love baking without flour! Pour into a greased (I used coconut oil) 8×8 baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool completely before digging in!
I really hope this recipe makes you guys excited!
