Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet potato (mashed)
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with coconut oil.
Peel and boil or steam a medium-sized sweet potato until fork-tender. Mash it thoroughly to ensure a smooth consistency.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing 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, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Be careful not to overbake to maintain a fudgy texture.
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 squares.
Serve and enjoy your Sweet Potato Cinnamon Brownies! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
