These healthy sweet potato chocolate brownies are sugar free, as they are sweetened with maple syrup. You are gonna love this fudgy simple 4 ingredient, (flourless, and vegan) recipe.
1 Mixer (I use my kitchen aid with the whisk attachment)
Ingredients
2cupsraw sweet potatoabout ½ inch cubes, about 1 medium sweet potato
1cup(255 g) almond butter
½cup(50 g) cocoa powder
½cup(110 g) maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit.
In a pot with a lid, boil the peeled sweet potato cubes in about 1 cup of water (you want about 2 inches of water in your pot, but you don't need to cover the sweet potatoes in water). Boil the sweet potatoes for 15 minutes until they are fully cooked, they will be bright orange and easy to slice through when cooked. Then drain the water from the pot.
In a large mixing bowl put the sweet potato, almond butter, cocoa powder, and maple syrup. Beat together for 2 minutes. Stop the mixer and with a spatula scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat for another 1-3 minutes until everything is completely smooth and incorporated. The brownie mixture will be super thick.
Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper or grease the bottom and sides of the pan. Spread the brownie mixture into the prepared pan. Slam the pan down on the counter a couple times to get the batter completely even on the top.
Bake (at 350 F) for 25-30 minutes. The brownies will be dry on the edges and a little soft in the middle. For best results let the brownies cool, place the pan in the fridge to make them cold and set completely.
Cut into 12 squares. Optional: use a small sieve to sprinkle cocoa powder on top. Enjoy these fudgy brownies cold or even frozen! Keep in the fridge (1 week) or freezer (up to 3 months).
