Sweet Potato Nut Blondies

Sweet Potato Nut Blondies

Sweet Potato Nut Blondies

As of this autumn sweet potatoes found in Swiss supermarkets are no longer imported but grown locally. Furthermore, my dad has harvested his first batch of homegrown sweet potatoes this year. The seemingly unlimited supply of local sweet potatoes has also led to me buying some almost every time I go to the shops. Another great thing about the orange beauties is that they are suitable for sweet and savoury dishes. They taste great in cakes, curries, smoothies, you name it.

Baking for friends is always fun.

I love baking, however, I almost never do it as I don’t like eating cake that much. However, any time I am meeting up with friends I see it as a great opportunity to bake something tasty. As you know I am still at university.  Almost every Wednesday at uni I meet up with a few friends at 2 pm at the most beautiful view you’ll get from Zurich university. There’s this window from which you just see the entire city and at this time of the year it is especially beautiful due to all of the colourful leaves. In fact, there’s lots of spots around the entire campus from which the view is incredibly, such as a couple of libraries with seats in front of windows from which you can overlook the city. Then there is also the “Polyterasse”, which technically isn’t part of Zurich university but ETH aka the Zurich technical university.

Beautiful views and yummy cake.

Anyways to cheer up my friends and myself this Wednesday I decided to bake something sweet ton enjoy in our weekly window meeting. We ended up eating these beautifully tasty sweet potato nut blondies while having the sun kiss our face and admiring the stunning and currently golden city of Zurich.
