Flourless Sweet Potato Brownies
These Flourless Sweet Potato Brownies are made with just 4 ingredients and are a healthy dessert that everyone will enjoy! They're super moist and you can't even taste the sweet potato. Plus, they just so happen to be vegan, gluten free and paleo.
Servings: 9 brownies
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (1 cup, mashed)
- 1 1/3 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips or more to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° and line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang.
- Use a fork to poke holes into the sweet potatoes, then place them on a microwave-safe dish and microwave for 6-7 minutes until soft. Then, slice them down the center and wait a few minutes for them to cool off before scooping out the sweet potato flesh and discarding the skin.
- Use a potato masher to mash the cooked sweet potato, then transfer to a 1-cup measuring cup.
- In a large bowl, whisk almond butter and syrup together. Then, add the cocoa powder, mashed sweet potato and chopped chocolate and fold everything together with a rubber spatula.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared dish, then sprinkle extra chocolate on top. Bake brownies for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan, then slice and enjoy!
