Sweet Potato Chocolate Brownie

You may like to use this as a hidden vegetable lunch box snack for the kids, a fibrous treat for gut health, or a sweet treat after dinner (or the afternoon!) without the high sugar kick.

This is a staple in my own family’s lunch boxes. It’s gut friendly and poop friendly too!
