Bake these rich, moist sweet potato brownies for a chocolatey, guilt-free treat. This recipe uses sweet potato for natural sweetness and a fudgy texture, making them a healthy dessert alternative.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potato (about 1 medium sweet potato)
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 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). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, melted coconut oil or butter, and sugar. Mix until smooth.
  3. Whisk in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The edges should look set, and a toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting. Cooling helps achieve the fudgiest texture.
  10. Once cool, lift the brownies out using the parchment paper overhang and cut into squares.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, substitute the eggs with flax eggs (2 tablespoons ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes).
  • If you are looking for simple ways to manage your weekly meals, consider looking into meal planning services.
  • To make this recipe naturally gluten-free, ensure all your dry ingredients are certified gluten-free.
  • For an extra rich flavor, use dark chocolate cocoa powder.
