Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Sweet potatoes (mashed)
- 0.75 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cups Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.3 cups Maple syrup
- 0.5 cups Almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 0.25 cups Dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
Peel and boil or steam the sweet potatoes until soft, then mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Measure out 1.5 cups.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well mixed.
Add the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until a thick batter forms.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a little fudgy is okay).
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before removing and slicing into 9 squares.
Serve as-is or with your favorite toppings, like a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of melted chocolate. Enjoy!
