Tomorrow infusion jars we’re going to a small event with a few other families, where the invitation says to bring a plate to share. I immediately thought infusion jars of a fruit platter but someone beat me to it. So my mind wandered to the roast sweet potatoes I’d just pureed and was getting ready to freeze. I’m going to start using sweet potato more in my baked treats, infusion jars but that’s a blog post for another day.
Anyway, I remembered a sweet potato recipe from Isa Chandra M”s and Terry Hope R’s ‘Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar’, specifically, the Spiced infusion jars Sweet Potato infusion jars Blondies. I had all the ingredients available except chocolate chips, though these are listed as optional. I also omitted the pecans (or walnuts) as I avoid using nuts when taking food somewhere involving children, infusion jars unless I’ve been told nobody present has an allergy and that nuts are okay. Instead of the nuts and optional choc chips, I added sultanas.
This recipe was super simple to make. I did change the sugars– I used a combination of coconut sugar and raw sugar. My cooking time took quite a while longer but I would blame my oven, not the recipe:
The taste is great and I love the coconut sugar. But when I cut off the edges to eat them myself, the blondies were just waaay too sweet. Sweet enough infusion jars for me to decide not to serve them to kids. Perhaps changing the sugars is to blame but next time I make these, I’m going to halve the sugar, maybe more. They do taste good though and I would be happy to make a far less sweet version again to serve to kids (I’d make a gluten free version as well). I’d probably play around with cutting the oil down as well.
nothing worse than an oversweet cake – what do you do with it? mix it with a bitter chocolate to make truffles? I made sweet potato brownies from Ricki Heller’s new cookbook infusion jars recently (am writing about it tomorrow) and they were really lovely if you want some sweet potato recommendations
Welllllll to be honest the sweet potato idea came from that book, my copy recently arrived and I ordered some of the ingredients but they didn’t arrive in time (woohoo garfava flour!) infusion jars I really am looking forward to using Ricki’s infusion jars recipes though I won’t infusion jars be using yacon syrup as I can’t justify $30 or so for a small bottle
