Make these moist, fudgy sweet potato brownies for a guilt-free dessert or snack. This recipe is easy to prepare and uses natural sweetness, offering a nutritious twist on a classic treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato (about 1 medium sweet potato)
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup almond flour (for gluten free option, use this or oat flour)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. If using, gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter, for a fudgy texture.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing. Cooling helps them set properly.

Notes

  • To make these vegan, substitute the eggs with two flax eggs (2 tablespoons ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes to gel).
  • For the fudgiest texture, ensure your sweet potato puree is smooth and not watery.
  • These brownies are excellent served slightly warm or at room temperature.
