Flourless Spiced Brownies is a variation of my regular sweet flourless brownies.

This gluten free alternative loaded with chocolate, savoury spices and sweet potato is a great dessert for anyone avoiding grains.

These brownies are easy to prepare because everything is thrown into the bowl at once to be mixed.

Next time you have left over sweet potato consider trying this flourless brownie recipe.

 

If no leftovers, it only takes 5 minutes in the microwave to cook up a sweet potato.  Just remember to pierce it first!

Flourless Spiced Brownies will provide a bit of heat with every bite.

Before dumping the ingredients into a large mixing bowl, I first pierced one medium sweet potato and then cooked it in the microwave on high for 5 minutes.  Once cooked I mashed up enough to make ½ cup.

Once the sweet potato was ready and in the bowl, I added peanut butter, an egg, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, meringue powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, crushed red chili flakes and some ground cayenne pepper. 

Then I used an electric hand mixer to blend all the ingredients until they were well combined.

Next I greased a square baking pan and lined it with parchment paper creating an overhang for easy lifting later.

I scraped the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.

Then I placed it in a preheated 350F oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center came out clean.

After the brownie was removed from the oven I allowed it to cool.

When it was cool to the touch I melted semi-sweet chocolate chips on a low setting in the microwave for one minute.  I stirred and put them back in for 10 seconds increments until fully melted.

Once the chocolate chips were melted I spread them over top of the brownie in the pan.

Then I mixed together a bit of icing sugar and ground cinnamon.

I sprinkled this powder mixture over the melted chocolate.

When the chocolate had set I used the parchment paper overhang to carefully lift the brownie out of the pan.

I sliced the brownie into nine pieces and stacked them on a serving plate.

Everyone enjoyed these Flourless Spiced Brownies with their smooth texture and hint of fiery goodness.
