 Ingredients:

• 1 cup cashew butter (or any nut butter)

• coconut oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F and grease an 8x8” baking dish with coconut oil.

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt cashew butter and maple syrup, stirring until thoroughly mixed together.

In a large bowl, combine sweet potato with cashew butter-maple syrup mixture; stir well to combine. Add cocoa powder and stir until evenly mixed.
