Healthy Sweet Potato Brownies

 

Ingredients:

1 large sweet potato (about 1 cup mashed, about 200g)

1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of choice)

1/3 cup pure maple syrup or honey

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup flour (or almond flour for a gluten-free option)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

Optional: 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra texture

 

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sweet Potato:

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Peel and chop the sweet potato into cubes. Boil or steam until soft, about 10-15 minutes, then mash well (you’ll need about 1 cup mashed).

2. Mix Wet Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

3. Add Dry Ingredients:

Add the cocoa powder, oat flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Stir until everything is well combined. The batter should be thick but spreadable.

4. Optional Add-Ins:

Fold in chocolate chips or chopped nuts if using, for added texture.

5. Bake:

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. (Slightly underbaked brownies are fine as they’ll be fudgier!)

6. Cool and Slice:

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing for best texture.

7. Serve:

Enjoy as-is or with a sprinkle of sea salt or extra drizzle of nut butter on top!

 

Tips:

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.

For a richer chocolate flavor, add an extra tablespoon of cocoa powder.
