Ingredients
Scale
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (cooked and mashed)
1 cup creamy almond butter
¼ cup cocoa powder
¼ cup pure maple syrup
½ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Combine ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the mashed sweet potatoes, almond butter, cocoa powder, and maple syrup. Stir until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips. Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
- Transfer to the pan. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth it into an even layer with a spatula.
- Bake. Slide the pan into the oven and bake for 18 to 21 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
- Cool and serve. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before slicing them into squares and serving.
Notes
Roast, boil, or microwave your sweet potatoes before mashing.
Drain well if boiled to avoid excess moisture.
Sub almond butter with peanut or cashew butter if needed.
Store in an airtight container at room temp for 4 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
