We love a good sweet potato – especially when they come in brownie form 😋
Bake up a batch of these sneakily healthy treats which have added fibre (for gut health), vitamins (A,B,C) and antioxidants as well as the healthy fats and properties from our good friends avo and coconut oil. Delicious and nutritious? It’s a yes from us 🙌🏼
