# Ingredients:
→ Main
01 -
240 g mashed sweet potato (about two medium cooked and peeled)
02 -
120 g almond butter or peanut butter (creamy)
03 -
60 ml melted coconut oil (cold pressed)
04 -
120 ml pure maple syrup or honey
05 -
5 ml vanilla extract (pure)
06 -
50 g unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch processed preferred)
07 -
50 g almond flour or oat flour
08 -
5 g baking powder (approximately 1 teaspoon)
09 -
1.25 g fine sea salt (approximately ¼ teaspoon)
10 -
90 g dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or higher)
→ Optional
11 -
Melted dark chocolate for drizzling
# Steps:
01 -
Set the oven to 175°C and line a 20 x 20 cm baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy removal.
02 -
In a large bowl, stir together mashed sweet potato, almond butter, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is glossy and fully combined.
03 -
Gently sprinkle cocoa powder, almond or oat flour, baking powder, and salt over the wet mixture. Fold carefully until no flour streaks remain, taking care not to overmix to preserve fudgy texture.
04 -
Fold dark chocolate chips evenly into the batter to ensure gooey pockets in each bite.
05 -
Pour the thick batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula for uniform baking.
06 -
Bake for 28 to 32 minutes until edges are set but the center remains slightly soft to achieve a fudgy consistency.
07 -
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan for clean slicing and optimal texture.
08 -
Drizzle melted dark chocolate over cooled brownies for added decadence before cutting into squares and serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Underbaking slightly yields gooey centers; chilling before slicing ensures clean, bakery-style squares.
02 -
These brownies freeze well for up to three months when individually wrapped and stored in airtight containers.
03 -
Sweet potato adds moisture, natural sweetness, and fiber without imparting vegetable flavor.
