If you love brownies but want a healthier option, sweet potato brownies are the perfect solution. These brownies are rich, fudgy, and satisfying, but they also offer nutritional benefits. Sweet potatoes bring natural sweetness and health perks to the table, making these brownies a delicious yet nourishing choice.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Roast or boil them until soft, then mash until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
Add the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sea salt to the wet mixture. Mix until fully combined. If using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the brownies cool for about 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
