Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Sweet potato (mashed, cooked)
- 0.75 cups Oats (quick oats or rolled oats, ground into flour)
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cups Applesauce (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Dark chocolate chips (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the oat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a thick, smooth batter forms.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle dark chocolate chips over the top of the batter for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–28 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 squares.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
