Bake these incredibly moist and fudgy sweet potato brownies for a naturally sweet, wholesome chocolate snack. This easy recipe delivers a delicious dessert that everyone will love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mashed sweet potato (about 1 large sweet potato)
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup almond flour (or all-purpose flour for non-GF)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

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, whisk together the mashed sweet potato, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and eggs until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  6. 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.
  7. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing. Cooling helps them set up to be perfectly fudgy.
  8. Give yourself a high-five! You made a healthy, delicious treat.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free brownie, use almond flour as listed. For a non-gluten-free version, you can substitute with regular all-purpose flour.
  • To make these vegan, substitute the eggs with flax eggs (2 tablespoons ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes to thicken).
  • For an even richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips.
  • Cooling time is crucial for the fudgiest texture; plan for at least 1 hour before cutting.
