                      Grain-Free Avocado Sweet Potato Cake Bites

                      Published by FoodTrients

                      chocolate cake

                      We love this recipe because we can sneak healthy fats from avocado plus fiber and antioxidants from sweet potato into a decadent chocolate treat without anyone knowing.

                      Ingredients:

                      • ½ cup sweet potato purée (1 small sweet potato) or pumpkin purée
                      • 1 small avocado
                      • 2 eggs
                      • ⅓ cup honey
                      • 2 Tbs. coconut oil, melted
                      • 3 Tbs. coconut flour
                      • ⅓ cup cocoa powder
                      • 1½ tsp. baking soda
                      • ¼ tsp. sea salt
                      • ½ cup mini chocolate chips, divided
                      • ¼ cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

                      FOR THE CHOCOLATE GLAZE

                      • 4 ounces bittersweet dark chocolate (at least 60 percent cacao)
                      • 1 Tbs. honey
                      • 1 Tbs. vegetable oil

                      Instructions:

                      1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a mini-muffin tin with paper liners or grease with oil.
                      2. In a blender or food processor, combine all ingredients except for chocolate chips and walnuts. Blend just until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips and optional walnuts. Fill each mini-muffin liner with batter.
                      3. Bake 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool for about 5 minutes. Transfer muffins to a wire rack to finish cooling.
                      4. While cake bites are cooking, in a glass bowl, melt chocolate and honey in 30-second increments in the microwave; whisk. Whisk in oil until smooth and shiny. Place wire cooling rack with cake bites over a foil-lined baking sheet or parchment. Drizzle glaze over top or dip cake bites into the glaze. Repeat until all cake bites have a glaze topping. If desired, top with walnuts.
