Today we are turning sweet potatoes into dessert as if these are not already the most delicious food on their own you can actually take your sweet potato to the next level with ingredients that you already have in your kitchen to make some incredible desserts I’m going to show you how to make three of them today.
If you are new here hey my name is healthy Emmy I’m a nutritionist a weight loss special IST the creator of the slon starch program and a sweet potato Enthusiast before we get started with today’s recipes you want to make sure that you are cooking your sweet potato because we don’t want to dive into these recipes with raw sweet potato you can.
Either bake them and this is how you would do so you can either poke holes or cut off the ends if you cut off the ends they’re going to be more gooey if you poke holes they’re going to be a little bit more dry so I would recommend cutting off the end ends as opposed to poking holes you’re going to put them in the oven at about 4 100° for an hour and.
Then they’ll be cooked through you also can steam them in the instant pot for me personally in this recipe I steam them in the instant pot for about 10 minutes whole and then when you go to use the sweet potato you’re going to want to remove the skin for this first recipe we are going to take our sweet potato and add it to a mug making sure to remove.
The skin you’re only going to need about a four of a cup of a sweet potato so take your baked or steamed or boiled sweet potato remove the skin take a four of a cup and add it to a mug after mashing it up you are going to add a tablespoon of cocoa powder a tablespoon of any Nut Butter I personally had cashew so I used that but you could use.
Peanut butter you could use sun butter you could use almond butter I Ed cashew butter 2 tbspoon of non-dairy milk I personally was using almond milk a half a teaspoon of baking powder 2 tablespoons of oat flour I personally purchased oat flour at the store but if you don’t have any you can just take oats and grind them up until you have.
About two tablespoons of oat flour if you use oat flour at that you bought from the store it’s going to be a nicer consistency whereas if you grind up the oats yourself it’s going to be a little bit more grainy so do keep that in mind and if you don’t have oat flour you can just use regular flour but using the oat flour makes it gluten-free then we’re.
Going to add a tablespoon of maple syrup and if desired you can add a little bit of vanilla extract here but it’s not required now we’re going to mash it all together mix it all together it’ll start to smell delicious and then microwave it for 2 to 3 minutes and what do you get you get chocolate cake let it cool down a little bit so that you don’t burn.
Yourself eating it but you could add a little bit of dairyfree yogurt on top or you could add some nut butter or you could add a little bit of nice cream banana nice cream you can really add any toppings that you desire or you could add what the next recipe is going to be but this is the equivalent to brownies or a chocolate cake that you would get.
At a birthday party it is delicious and there are so many nutritional benefits to it as well of course you get the vitamin A from the sweet potato the beta carotene from the sweet potato which is going to help with your eyesight the antioxidants the fiber depending on what type of non-dairy milk you’re using you can get some calcium in there some.
Vitamin E maybe a little bit of extra protein also if you are using oat flour you H you get some beta glue can and beta glue can is a particular type of fiber that has a bunch of benefits in the long term like helping lower your cholesterol but beta glucan is the type of fiber that really helps with making you feel full so after you have this.
Chocolate cake as opposed to the chocolate cake that you would get at the grocery store the store-bought version you’re probably going to feel nice and satisfied after this one and you’re not going to have this huge spike in blood sugar also a benefit of using the oat flour because it has a nice hit of fiber which is going to help blunt the insulin.
Response of this little indulgent dessert if you are enjoying these delicious desserts I have to make sure that you’re being responsible and you’re supplementing with vitamin B12 if you do eat a plant-based diet then it is imperative to supplement with vitamin B12 it’s not going to be found in whole plant Foods so be responsible and please.
Make sure that you are supplementing most of the supplements that you’re going to find in the store are nasty so I made one for you that is not nasty and this one is clean vegan premium ingredients no oils no sugar no gross stuff just the good stuff just one active ingredient vitamin B12 you can get it linked below the next recipe is.
So fun you’re not going to believe what we’re going to come up with here and I like not telling you what it is and just kind of having you watch The Journey cuz that’s how I make these recipes I watch The Journey go along and I go whoa look what we end up with so first we’re going to start with a half of an avocado avocado is a great thing to use if you.
Are making something more indulgent or some desserts because it gives you that nice creamy texture that you would usually get from something like a butter or you would get from an oil it provides the fats that are necessary for the chemical side of the dessert in the baking whatever it is but these are healthy fats and you’re going to get a.
Plethora of other added benefits with the whole avocado as opposed to if you strip it and you just use the oil then you don’t get all the vitamins the minerals the nutrients the fiber so we’re going to use a half of an avocado here and then we’re going to take a mediumsized sweet potato don’t worry about it being an exact measurement.
Because this recipe is forgiving as you’ll see with what we come up with in the end but I’m actually using the Hawaiian sweet potato you can use any type of sweet potato that you’d like for any of these recipes to be honest but I wanted to use the purple sweet potato because I had sort of a vision for what this was going to turn into and I wanted.
The color to look nice and I think the color would look nice no matter what but but the really rich Deep Purple would add a really pretty color here so I boiled this one I steamed it in the instant pot and then removed the skin and you can eat the skin just in this recipe it’s kind of funny then we are going to add 2 tbspoon of cocoa powder.
Along with 2 tbspoon of nut butter again any Nut Butter of your choice it could even be sun butter if you have a nut allergy but this is going to give a nice rich deep creamy texture and taste to what we’re making then we’re going to add a four of a cup of ground up oats so this is a little bit different from the actual oat flour and the reason for this.
Is because oat flour is usually made from the growths before the oats have been flattened and steamed from the rolled oats that we see So when you buy rolled oats at the store those have actually been a little bit processed they’ve been flattened they’ve been steamed they’ve been cooked a little bit so that you could eat them quote unquote.
Raw so for this recipe I would encourage you to grind up the oats into a flour and not using just the straight up oat flour because we’re not going to end up cooking this or baking it then we are going to add 3 tbspoon of maple syrup if you want to have more or less sweetness you can adjust this based on what your preference is now let’s mix it all.
Together and what you’re going to find you end up with is a delicious whipped chocolate frosting you can use this chocolate olate frosting on top of a rice cake you can put it on a toasted piece of Ezekiel bread or a healthy whole grain or a homemade bread if you have any healthy baked goods you could add this on top or if you want to have a.
Little sweet potato dessert you can bake up a sweet potato open it up and then put this on top delicioso you will not believe the consistency of this it looks like a whipped frosting that you would buy from the grocery store that’s filled with trans fats and sugar and milk milk fat and all that crazy stuff but no these are healthy whole real ingredients.
That you got from your kitchen so how lucky are you because this is made with sweet potato and avocado I wouldn’t keep this too too long in the fridge but you can put it in a container and keep it for a few days in the fridge but after that just as any sweet potatoes or avocado that’s when it’s going to start to go bad after a few days but trust me.
It’s not even going to last that long because it’s so so delicious so consume at your own risk because this stuff is good and this is a great thing for kids too but please do make sure that you’re not using Straight Up oat flour or straight up flour and that you’re grinding your oats into a fine flour and then using that this is a really fun.
Thing for kids to make as well it’s very kid-friendly and kidsafe for the kids to put everything together of of course you want to be the one that is grinding the oats into a flour but to make a fun brownie batter and what a fun dessert that is a great alternative for actual brownie batter or actual brownies or ice cream um and of course I’m not here to.
Have the conversation about well you can have this every once in a while listen if you’re watching this video it’s because you’re looking for healthy alternatives and this is a healthy alternative that is packed full of vitamins minerals nutrients and is going to have you feeling nice and satisfied and fulfilled afterward and not having a.
Sugar crash before I share with you the next recipe let me share with you an incredible post from my slimon starch client Amber first she hit her walking goal second she was able to identify what vitamins minerals and nutrients her body needed because of the Cravings that she was experiencing I have a module in the slon.
Starge program that talks about cravings and how Cravings are a signed from your body that it needs something in particular and how to decode Cravings to figure out oh okay I’m craving this food that means that my body needs this vitamin mineral or nutrient and here’s all the places that I can get that and then we also decode what emotional.
Cravings are you experiencing so what confidence I love seeing Amber having this confidence and this conviction when she makes her food choices and an understanding of her body and the signals that it’s trying to send her and she also said her third win was she’s choosing life above all other things this is why I wanted to share this win.
From my Monarch client Amber because by choosing the foods that are associated with vibrancy and they’re alive and they’re colorful and they have vitamins and minerals and nutrients as opposed to the highly processed lowquality low nutrient dents nutrient dilute foods that we find at the grocery stores that’s not life that’s choosing.
Food that kills us that’s choosing food and I know that sounds dramatic and I I don’t mean for it to sound dramatic but those Foods were not made for humans these foods and the foods that we’re eating in today’s video These Foods were made for humans they promote longevity vibrancy energy they make you feel excited to get up in the morning you.
Feel light so your food choices are a CH are a choice either for living or for dying and she’s choosing life day in and day out and you watching this video are choosing life so kudos to you let’s eat some more sweet potato desserts next recipe incoming the last recipe my boyfriend didn’t even allow me to taste test it because he ate the entire ire.
Thing he said it was so good okay so we’re trusting him he’s an he’s not even plant-based he’s plant forward but he is just a regular old guy he’s my fiance now I still am calling him my boyfriend but he is my fiance okay so for this next recipe we are going to take a four of a cup of sweet potato using the same sort of.
Maneuver if you will as last time where you scoop out a four of a cup of the sweet potato and you add it to a mug do you know where this is going then we’re going to add 1 and 1 half tablespoons of nut butter again any nut butter or sun butter of your choice two teaspoons of maple syrup you can add more if you like it really sweet 2 tbsp of any non-dairy.
Milk a/4 of a teaspoon of vanilla extract if you don’t have this don’t worry about it 3 tblspoon of oat flour 1/4 of a teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 half a teaspoon of baking powder just like we did with our first mug cake we’re going to throw this into the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes depending on the power of your microwave and also the consistency.
Of your batter you know B based on if you baked the sweet potato or if you steamed it please don’t microwave it then it gets super dry it’s not going to work well you are going to have a different consistency and a different cooking time and then what you end up with is this spongy cinnamony it’s like a cinnamon toffee sticky bread pudding.
My boyfriend said it reminded him of a bread pudding of a sticky toffee bread pudding now you can top it with a little bit of nut butter a drizzle of maple syrup a little bit of cinnamon and you’re going to be in heaven you can have it directly from the mug or you can take it out of the mug and put it onto a nice little plate and make it look.
Pretty I added a couple of blueberries on top just to make it look pretty which didn’t get eaten but never mind that now if you made it to this point in the video I’m going to have you comment something I want you to comment it’s a sweet life because how lucky are you to have the resources the knowledge and the ability to take all this information.
From this video and go live your best life you did that for yourself so it’s a sweet life that you’re living if you enjoyed this video you are going to love the next video that pops up on the screen it’s another super easy dessert recipe that mimics Girl Scout cookies okay I love you Honeys and I’ll see you in my next video.
