Brownie Batter Smootie Bowl / Vegan
This brownie batter smoothie bowl is made from Japanese sweet potato, which has a concentrated sweetness and a thick, creamy texture that is hailed as a nutrient-dense superfood. Blended with protein-rich oats and almond butter, sweetened with ripe bananas and dates, and made chocolatey with all the goodness of raw cacao powder, it’s a healthy chocolate lover’s dream come true!
Have you ever made brownies and found that eating the batter is just as glorious as the brownies themselves?! It’s chocolatey, sweet, and creamy with a touch of cakiness, yet rich and fudgy. It’s instant gratification at its best because you don’t have to wait for the batter to cook, cool or come out perfect.
Ingredients
1 medium Japanese sweet potato, cooked cooled and peeled
½ cup of organic rolled oats
2 large very ripe bananas
4 large medjool dates, pitted
1 cup of unsweetened almond milk (oat milk works well too)
¼ cup of almond butter
¼ cup of raw organic cacao powder
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/8 teaspoon of fine sea salt
Crushed walnuts, cacao nibs and coconut flakes for toppings
Makes 3 bowls
Instructions
1. First up, pop your Japanese sweet potato into the microwave for about 5 minutes and peel it after it’s had a chance to cool. You can speed up this process by putting it in the freezer while you gather your other ingredients. Add the sweet potato along with the rolled oats to a blender container. These ingredients are the base of our smoothie bowl.
2. Next come the sweeteners, bananas, and dates. Using really ripe bananas, that are covered all over with black spots, will naturally sweeten your smoothie bowl. Dates that are large and squishy are the easiest to blend.
3. Pour in the almond (or oat) milk and add the almond butter next followed by the flavorings: raw organic cacao powder, vanilla, and salt.
4. Secure the lid onto the blender container and blend, starting on low speed and working up to medium speed. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the container as you go, or use the tamper to push the food down and around towards the blade if blending with a Vitamix.
5. Scoop the wonderful chocolatey mixture, which will look just like brownie batter, into three bowls and top with crushed walnuts, cacao nibs, coconut flakes, and a drizzle of tahini.
Enjoy as the ultimate good-mood food for breakfast or as a super healthy dessert.
