Kumara & Manuka Honey Brownies

We are always looking to create something delicious and healthy at the same time.

We brought the least expected ingredients together, Kumara, Peanut Butter and our Manuka Honey to make one of the most delicious nutrition-packed treat ever! I really love this brownie, it is so simple to make. For people that are not from New Zealand; Kumara is Sweet potatoe :-). We buy our ingredients, Kumara and Peanut butter from our local market.

Kumara & Manuka Honey Brownies

Here are all the ingredients you need:

  • 3 cups of cooked mashed Kumara (we prefer the orange Kumara)

  • 1 cup of HBK’s Manuka blend honey

  • 1 cup of cocoa powder

  • 1.5 cups of peanut butter


Peel and mash the Kumara before making these. Combine in a food processor, place in a small flatter wider brownie tin and cook for 25-30 minutes at 180°C. We used peanut butter but also will taste great with almond butter.


Feel free to adjust the amount of cocoa powder and honey for your desired sweetness and richness of the brownies you want.


All the ingredients are adjustable for the desired quantity and sweetness.
