Equipment

Mixer (I use my kitchen aid with the whisk attachment)
8x8 square pan

Ingredients

2 cups raw sweet potato about ½ inch cubes, about 1 medium sweet potato
1 cup (255 g) almond butter (or other nut butter)
½ cup (50 g) cocoa powder
½ cup (110 g) maple syrup
⅓ cup optional: chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175C).
Peel the sweet potato and chop it into ½-inch cubes. In a pot with a lid, boil the 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 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, add the sweet potato, almond butter, cocoa powder, and maple syrup. Beat together for 2 minutes. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, then beat for another 1-3 minutes until everything is completely smooth and incorporated. The brownie mixture will be 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 of times to get the batter even on the top. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top if desired.
Bake (at 350 F) for 25-30 minutes. The brownies will be fully cooked on the edges and a little soft in the middle. For best results, let the brownies cool by placing the pan in the fridge to make them cold and set.
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 for up to 1 week, or freezer up to 3 months (after this they won't go bad, just start to lose flavor).
