Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Wash the sweet potato, pierce the skin with a fork, and microwave it for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes soft. Alternatively, you can bake the sweet potato in the oven for 40-45 minutes.
  3. Once the sweet potato is cooked, let it cool slightly, then peel off the skin and mash the flesh with a fork or potato masher. Measure out 1 cup of mashed sweet potato for the brownie recipe.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, almond butter, maple syrup, cocoa powder, almond flour, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well combined and smooth.
  5. Fold in the dark chocolate chips into the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the baking dish before cutting into squares.
  9. Serve and enjoy!
