FOR THE BROWNIES
Preheat the oven the 350 degrees, grease a small cake or loaf pan and set aside.
In a small microwave-safe bowl or stovetop, melt your nut butter. In a large mixing bowl, add the sweet potato, nut butter, and dark cocoa powder and mix very well.
Pour the mixture into the greased pan and bake for around 20-25 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Once cooled, at the frosting and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
FOR THE PROTEIN OR CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
Add all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well. Using a tablespoon, add dairy free milk until a VERY thick batter is formed.

RECIPE NOTES
* Adjust accordingly- Depending on the protein powder or thickness of cream cheese, you may need less or more.
