Truly a sugar free cake recipe but you would never know! Delicious and buttery, perfect with coffee or as a dessert served warm with cream
Sugar Free Brownies Recipe
Posted: 20th August 2019


These melt in your mouth sugar free brownies are full of delicious staples such as raw, unprocessed honey and ripe banana, but they also slip in an ingredient you'd never expect - finely grated sweet potato - which adds a buttery, melting texture...

This recipe was created out of necessity! We had searched and searched online for a truly sugar free cake, but kept finding "sugar free" recipes that contained refined sugar from other sources, for instance, coconut sugar. Or they simply said: Use a sugar free replacement sweetener. (Which many avoid due to other health concerns.) We love to use wild honey, here's a link to purchase it from eBay, it's totally unrefined, and we use a brand that guarantees "No Sugar Feeding." For more information, read our article Raw Honey Benefits Vs Processed Honey.

It's optional but we also added some fresh or dried stevia for slight extra sweetness. But many find this recipe sweet enough if you use a very ripe banana :)

You can find plain cocoa powder without any added sugar. Buy organic if you like but just make sure that it's plain 100% cocoa.

Crushed almonds are often added to brownies for the texture and that's really important here, but also the added sweetness combines with the other ingredients to be really satisfying.

Serve warm with lashings of cream as dessert, or these brownies are perfect with a coffee when cooled.
