How to make sweet potato brownie:

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
  2. Prepare the sweet potato: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into pieces. Boil the sweet potatoes for 15 minutes until tender. Let them cool.
  3. Soak the dates: Place the pitted dates in a bowl of hot water and let them soak for 10 minutes.
  4. Make the oatmeal: Grind the oats into oat flour in a food processor.
  5. Combine the dry ingredients: Sift the oatmeal into a bowl and add the baking powder, egg white powder, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
  6. Mashed the sweet potato and dates: Puree the cooled sweet potato and soaked dates in a food processor until smooth.
  7. Mix the ingredients: Add the smooth mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Also add the vanilla extract and eggs. Mix everything well. If the batter is too thick, add a small splash of milk. Add the nuts and chocolate: Finely chop the hazelnuts and dark chocolate. Add them to the batter and mix well.
  8. Bake the brownie: Line a baking pan with parchment paper and pour the batter into it. Bake the brownie for 35-40 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). After 35 minutes, insert a skewer; if nothing sticks to it, remove the brownie from the oven and let it cool. If anything does stick to it, leave the brownie in the oven for a little longer.
