Ingredients
1 cup mashed sweet potato
1/2 cup almond butter
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
1. Cook sweet potatoes by roasting at 400°F (200°C) for 45 minutes or steaming for 15–20 minutes. Let them cool completely and mash until smooth.
2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease.
3. In a large bowl, mix mashed sweet potato, almond butter, maple syrup, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Sift in cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix gently, then fold in almond flour.
5. Add chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. Fold until evenly distributed.
6. Pour the batter into the baking pan and smooth out. Top with more walnuts if desired.
7. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
8. Cool completely before lifting out and slicing into squares.
Notes
Let the brownies cool fully before slicing to achieve the best texture.
Toast the walnuts before adding them for extra flavor and crunch.
These brownies taste even better the next day once the flavors settle.
