Clean Sweet Potato Brownies- (makes 8 small brownies)

   I'm not a 'sweets' fan and trying to retrain my mind to see food as fuel rather than treats, or something that needs to be earned, has been difficult. However, I was inspired by a website/blogger called 'Eat Drink Paleo'.
I'm not a Paleo diet die hard fan, nor do I think that I should limit myself to just these foods, but these were absolutely delicious and I adapted the recipe slightly to fit with what I had in the cupboard!

 1 sweet potato (peeled and grated)
♥ 4 tbsps agave nectar/chocolate agave nectar
♥ 1 egg
♥ 3 tbsps unsweetened dark cocoa powder (depending how sweet you like it)
♥ 1/2 tsp baking powder
♥ 1/2 vanilla pod scraped out
♥ 2 tbsps self raising flour (or coconut flour)

1. Literally, once all of your ingredients are prepared, throw them together in a mixing bowl and stir until the mixture becomes quite sticky but more solid.
2. Put a large tbsp of mixture into cake cases and bake in the oven at 180oC until cooked through but still squidgy and soft to touch! It took my oven about 25 minutes!
3. Allow to cool
