PREP TIME: 15 MINS

COOKING TIME: 45 MINS

SERVES: 16

INGREDIENTS

 

300g Spud Lite potatoes

80g unsalted butter, diced

80g dark chocolate, chopped

¾ cup (180ml) maple syrup

½ cup (140g) crunchy natural peanut butter with

1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

2 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten

2/3 cup (100g) Gluten-free SR flour, sieved

½ cup (50g) cocoa powder, sieved

¼ cup (35g) salted peanuts, chopped

¼ cup (45g) milk chocolate, chopped into small chunks

METHOD

 

Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Lightly grease and line a 20cm x 20cm square brownie tin with baking paper. 

Step 2
Place potatoes in a saucepan covered in cold water over medium heat and bring to the boil. Cook for 10 minutes or until tender. Drain and mash using a ricer. Return mash to saucepan over a low heat, stirring continuously to prevent mash sticking, to help dry potato out and remove excess moisture. 

Step 3
Place butter and dark chocolate together in a bowl over a small saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until melted. Remove from heat until required. 

Step 4
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer with a balloon whisk, combine mash potato, maple syrup, peanut butter, vanilla and eggs, whisking until pale and creamy. Add chocolate mixture, whisking gently to combine. 

Step 5
Add flour and cocoa to potato mixture, stirring to combine. 

Step 6
Evenly spread mixture into prepared tin and sprinkle peanuts and milk chocolate on top. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a skewer comes out of centre with moist crumbs. Remove from oven and allow to cool in tin completely before cutting into 16 squares.
