- Yield: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet potato puree (cooked and cooled sweet potatoes, peeled and thoroughly mashed)
- 1 cup natural, unsweetened nut butter of choice (we use almond or cashew)
- 1/3 cup organic maple syrup
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ⅔ cup cocoa powder
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Line a 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Add the mashed sweet potato, nut butter, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla to a medium-sized bowl. Whisk together until well incorporated.
- Stir in the cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. As you stir, the batter will turn into a thick, creamy texture.
- Fold in the chocolate chips (reserve some for topping, if desired)
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and use your spoon to spread the batter evenly. Sprinkle with reserved chocolate chips, if using.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, depending on the texture you’re looking for. Pull the brownies out at 25 minutes if you want a fudgy brownie, or 30 minutes if you’re looking for a firmer, cakier texture.
- Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about an hour before slicing.
- Serve and store the leftover brownies in the fridge for up to 5 days.
