Fudgy Sweet Potato Brownies

Fudgy Sweet Potato Brownies

Ingredients

  • 1½ medium sweet potatoes, cooked & mashed (about 1 cup packed puree)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)
  • ⅓ cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ¼–⅓ cup dark chocolate chips (handful)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • Pinch sea salt
  • Optional: drizzle of honey or maple if you like them sweeter

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a small brownie tin or loaf pan with baking paper.
  2.  Mash steamed or baked sweet potato and mash/blend until smooth. 
  3. In a bowl, mix sweet potato, eggs, nut butter and vanilla until creamy.
  4. Stir in almond flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.
  5. Fold through chocolate chips.
  6. Pour batter into the tin and smooth the top.
  7. Bake 20–25 minutes, until just set in the centre (don’t overbake — they stay fudgy!).
  8. Let cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
