Step 1

Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and microwave on high for 8-10 minutes until soft. Set aside to cool slightly and mash with a fork until smooth.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line and grease a 8×8-inch square pan.

Step 3

Melt the bittersweet chocolate and coconut oil together, either in a double boiler or in the microwave, making sure to stir every 30 seconds. Set aside to cool.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the eggs and brown sugar for about 5 minutes until lighter in colour and viscous.
