You can make rich, moist chocolate brownies using sweet potato for a healthier, naturally sweetened dessert. This recipe is easy to prepare and yields fudgy results.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potato (about 1 medium sweet potato)
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1 cup maple syrup (for naturally sweetened brownies)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup almond flour (or all-purpose flour for non-gluten free)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra fudgy texture)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter, for a fudgy texture.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. Cooling is important for the best texture.

Notes

  • To make these vegan sweet potato treats, substitute the eggs with two flax eggs (2 tablespoons ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes).
  • For a flourless brownies idea, you can use an equal amount of oat flour instead of almond flour.
  • Cook the sweet potato by steaming or baking until very soft before mashing.
